San Ramon, CA Sign Regulations: Garage Sale Signs (2026)

Section D3-45(I) lists the garage sale sign among the categories exempt from Architectural Review Board, Zoning Administrator, and Commission review. The exemption comes with hard numeric caps rather than a blanket allowance: a resident gets one on-site sign at the property holding the sale, plus up to four off-site signs placed on other private properties to direct traffic. on the days the sale is actually happening; posting them earlier or leaving them up after the sale hours end takes the sign outside the exemption. Because the exemption is what removes the permit requirement, a sign that exceeds the size, count, or time-of-day limits is treated as an unpermitted sign subject to the general sign regulations of Chapter IV, including the prohibition on off-site directional signage in Section D3-50(E) for anything beyond the four allowed off-site copies.
