Sanger regulates temporary garage sale signs under its sign ordinance. Signs may be placed on private property only and must be removed within 24 hours after the sale.
The City of Sanger regulates garage sale signs as temporary signs under the Sanger Municipal Code sign ordinance. Garage sale signs may be placed on private property with the property owner permission. Signs are prohibited on utility poles, street signs, traffic control devices, trees on public property, and within the public right-of-way. The typical size limit for temporary signs in residential zones is 6 square feet. Signs should not obstruct visibility at intersections or driveways. Garage sale signs must be removed within 24 hours after the sale concludes. The city may remove signs placed illegally on public property or in the right-of-way without notice. Sanger typically limits garage sales to 2 to 3 per year per household and limits each sale to 2 to 3 consecutive days. Excessive garage sale frequency may be interpreted as operating a commercial business from a residential property, which would require a home occupation permit. Signs advertising garage sales should include the date of the sale and address. The Sanger code enforcement division handles complaints about illegally placed signs.
Signs placed on utility poles, traffic signs, or in the public right-of-way may be removed by the city without notice. Failure to remove signs after a sale may result in a code enforcement warning and potential citation. Operating frequent garage sales beyond the allowed number may trigger home business enforcement. Fines for sign violations are typically $50 to $100.
