Full Breakdown
Under South Jordan City Code section 16.36.050, temporary garage sale signs don't need a sign permit as long as they stay within four square feet in area and are placed only on the subject property -- not in park strips, medians, or neighbors' yards. Display is time-limited: no more than seven consecutive days per sale, and no more than twenty-one total days of garage sale signage across the calendar year, which effectively caps how often a household can post them.
Violations & Fines
Signs larger than four square feet, placed off the seller's own lot, or left up past the seven-day/twenty-one-day limits lose their exempt status and can be removed by the city without advance notice.
