Shreveport lets you post one garage sale sign on the property holding the sale, with no permit. Off-premise directional signs at intersections are prohibited outright and the city may remove them without notice.
Under UDC Section 9.6.C.2 a garage or yard sale conducted as part of a residential use gets one additional temporary sign per lot. The sign is capped at six square feet, freestanding versions at five feet tall and within five feet of a lot line, and it may not be illuminated. Wall versions may be mounted on a fence. Timing is fixed: up 48 hours before the sale, down within 24 hours after it ends. Table 9-1 lists this sign type as requiring no permit. Section 9.4.H bans all temporary off-premise signs, which covers arrow signs stapled to poles blocks away.
Off-premise garage sale signs are declared abandoned trash on posting and may be discarded without notice. Code violations carry fines up to $1,000, each day a separate offense.
