Garage sale signs in Seminole are permitted on private property only, must be limited in size, removed promptly after the sale, and cannot be placed in public rights-of-way or on utility poles.
Seminole's sign code treats garage sale signs as temporary signs allowed on private residential property without a permit, generally not exceeding 4 to 6 square feet. Signs placed in public rights-of-way, on traffic signs, utility poles, trees, or median strips are prohibited and subject to immediate removal by city staff. Most Pinellas-area cities require garage sale signs to be removed within 24 to 48 hours after the sale ends. Seminole also typically requires a brief residential garage sale registration or limits the number of sales per address per year (commonly 2 to 4). Violations can lead to fines and removal costs.
Illegally placed signs are removed without notice. Repeat violations may bring code enforcement fines of $50 to $100 per sign per occurrence.
