Full Breakdown

Satellite Beach's sign code, Chapter 30, Article V, Division 1, allows only the sign types listed in Table 1 under § 30-504, and garage or yard sale signs are one of them. The table permits garage and yard sale signs in both residential and non-residential zoning districts, capped at a maximum of two signs per property, each no larger than 6 square feet and no taller than 6 feet. The display period column limits these signs to 'during event' only, meaning they cannot be posted before the sale begins or left up afterward, unlike the city's identification or directory signs, which the same table allows on a permanent basis.

Garage and yard sale signs are one of the few sign types in Table 1 marked 'no' in the permit-required column, so a resident does not need to apply to the building department before putting one out, unlike a freestanding monument sign or a special event sign, both of which require a permit under § 30-503. All signs, including garage sale signs, remain subject to the general rules in § 30-502, meaning they cannot be placed within 25 feet of a right-of-way intersection where they would obstruct sight lines, cannot go in an easement or public right-of-way, and must not create a traffic hazard.

Violations & Fines

Posting more than two garage sale signs, oversized signs, or leaving a sign up after the sale ends violates the display limits of § 30-504, Table 1, and placing a sign in the right-of-way or a sight-visibility triangle also violates § 30-502. Sign violations are enforced as code violations under Chapter 2: a code enforcement officer may issue a civil infraction with a $50.00 fine for a first offense and $100.00 for a repeat offense under § 2-371, and the building official may order removal of a noncomplying sign under § 30-502(f).

Frequently Asked Questions

How many garage sale signs can I put up in Satellite Beach?
City Code § 30-504, Table 1 allows a maximum of two garage or yard sale signs per property, each no larger than 6 square feet and no taller than 6 feet, in both residential and non-residential zoning districts.
Do I need a permit for a garage sale sign?
No. The permit-required column of Table 1 lists garage and yard sale signs as 'no,' unlike freestanding monument signs, special event signs, or banners, all of which need a permit from the building department before they can be placed.
How long can a garage sale sign stay up?
Only 'during event,' per the display period column of Table 1. The sign must come down when the sale ends; the code does not allow it to be posted in advance or left standing afterward the way a permanent identification sign can be.
Can I put my garage sale sign at the corner right-of-way?
No. Section 30-502(a) bars any sign within 25 feet of a street right-of-way intersection, and subsection (b) bars signs from easements or public rights-of-way entirely, rules that apply to garage sale signs along with every other sign type.
