Garage sale signs in St. Petersburg are governed by Section 16.50.160 and the Sign Code, requiring placement only on the host's private property and prompt removal after the sale ends.
St. Petersburg permits residents to hold garage sales under Section 16.50.160, with limits on frequency (commonly two per calendar year per address) and duration. Signs advertising garage sales must be placed only on the seller's own private property; placement in the right-of-way, on utility poles, traffic signs, trees, or neighbor's property is prohibited. Signs must be removed promptly at the end of the sale, usually within 24 hours. The city or volunteer crews routinely remove unauthorized signs from public areas without notice, and violations may be cited.
Signs found in rights-of-way or remaining after the sale ends are typically removed and can result in code enforcement citations or per-sign fines.
