Summary

San Angelo garage sale signs are temporary signs needing no permit, but they may not be placed in the public right-of-way or on utility poles. Sales are limited to three per year, three consecutive days each.

No sign in any zoning district shall project into the public right-of-way in any street or alley with the following exceptions:

(1)In the CBD zoning districts, signs may extend outward from a building face into the public right-of-way, up to a distance no less than 18 inches from the street edge or curb line, and may overhang a sidewalk or public right-of-way at a height of no less than nine feet from the grade level to the bottom edge of the sign.(2)A public event banner may be hung in the right-of-way at locations designated by the city and with prior approval of the director of public works or his designee. Said banners shall only be hung in the manner and for the time period authorized by the director or his designee. The refusal of a request to hang a public event banner may be appealed to the city council if a written request for the appeal is received by the public works department no later than ten days from the refusal of the request. An appeal shall not be granted if the sole reason for refusal of the appellant's request is that another request was received prior to that of the appellant. (Ord. No. 2025-032, § 1(Exh. A), 5-6-25)
