South Jordan, UT Sign Regulations: Garage Sale Signs (2026)

South Jordan permits garage sale signs under its general temporary-sign framework (content-neutral). Permit-exempt standards typically include: sign area not exceeding 4 square feet, maximum height about 4 feet, sign placed entirely on private property with the owner's permission, posted no more than 24 hours before the sale, and removed within 24 hours after the sale ends. Off-premise garage sale signs (directional signs placed at a cross-street or arterial) are a common source of violations: the city treats placement on public right-of-way (parkstrips, medians, traffic signs, utility poles) as prohibited, and such signs are removed without notice. Many residents place directional signs with neighbors' permission on private corner lots, which is generally compliant. Failing to remove signs after the sale is a common complaint; code enforcement may warn or cite repeat offenders. Utah has no state statute preempting local garage-sale sign rules, but content-based restrictions are prohibited under Reed v. Town of Gilbert, meaning garage sale signs and event/political signs must be treated equivalently. HOA rules in Daybreak and similar subdivisions often require signs only on the day of the sale and prohibit signs in common areas or on community amenities.
