Spartanburg County's sign ordinance has no dedicated garage-sale sign category. Yard-sale signs are treated as temporary signs: no portion of any sign may overhang or encroach on a public right-of-way, and signs of one square foot or less bearing no commercial connotation are exempt from the sign regulations.
The Performance Zoning Ordinance (Article 7) regulates temporary signs but does not create a specific garage-sale or yard-sale sign permit. Two general rules govern them. Under Section 7.3.30, no portion of any sign may overhang or encroach on any public right-of-way, so signs staked in the road shoulder or median are prohibited and subject to removal. Under Section 7.4.00, small signs not exceeding one square foot and bearing no commercial connotation are exempt from the sign regulations, but even exempt signs cannot be placed within a public right-of-way. Residential yard sales themselves are excluded from the ordinance's retail-use definitions. Cities may have their own temporary-sign rules.
Signs placed in the public right-of-way may be removed by the county without notice; repeat or oversized temporary signs are subject to Planning & Development enforcement.
