Tarpon Springs treats garage sale signs as temporary signs under Article XI: small in size, posted only on private property with permission, and removed promptly after the sale ends.
Article XI of the LDC governs all temporary signage, including garage and yard sale signs. The city does not allow signs in public rights-of-way, on utility poles, traffic signs, or on medians, and unauthorized signs are removed by city crews. Owners may post small directional signs on their own property and on private property where they have written permission. Signs must come down within 24 hours of the sale's conclusion. Code enforcement issues warnings first, but repeat violators can face fines and accumulated removal costs.
Placing signs in the right-of-way, on utility poles or street furniture, or leaving them after the sale ends results in removal and possible code enforcement fines.
