San Clemente's sign matrix in SCMC 17.84.030 allows one on-site garage sale sign per site, up to 4 square feet, with no permit required. Off-site signs are prohibited and the sign must be removed no later than the day after the sale.
Under the Matrix of Sign Types in SCMC 17.84.030 (Table 17.84.030A), a garage sale sign is limited to one sign per site with a maximum area of 4 square feet and requires no sign permit. The listing expressly states the sign must be posted on site and removed no later than the day after the sale, and no off-site signs are allowed. This means directional garage-sale signs placed at intersections, on utility poles, or in the public right-of-way are not permitted. As with all temporary signs, garage sale signs may not be placed in the public right-of-way or on public property under the general provisions of SCMC 17.84.
Off-site or right-of-way garage sale signs, oversized signs, or signs left up after the sale can be removed and cited.
