Unincorporated Tehama County has no specific garage-sale-sign ordinance in Title 17. The County's sign provisions focus on commercial and on-premises business signs by district. Temporary garage-sale signs should not be placed in the public road right-of-way, and small on-site signs are generally treated as accessory to the residential use.
Tehama County's Title 17 zoning code does not contain a section dedicated to garage-sale, yard-sale, or temporary directional signs in the unincorporated area. The County's enumerated sign rules address business and on-premises signs within commercial and combining districts; for example, Section 17.24.020(G) limits the aggregate area of on-premises business signs in the C-1 district to fifty square feet and prohibits them from projecting above the roof ridge line or into a setback, and Section 17.08.010(J)(3) limits a bed-and-breakfast identification sign to four square feet. For a home occupation, Section 17.04.280(D) allows a sign of not more than one square foot. There is no published County limit specifically governing the number, size, or duration of garage-sale signs, and no separate permit requirement appears in Title 17 for them. Practically, temporary garage-sale signs should be placed only on the seller's own property or with the consent of the owner of any private property used, and never within the public road right-of-way or attached to utility poles, traffic signs, or other public structures, which can create a traffic-visibility hazard and be removed by Public Works. Because rules can change and signs in the right-of-way may be cited, confirm placement with the Tehama County Planning Department before posting.
Signs placed in the public right-of-way, on traffic control devices, or creating a visibility hazard may be removed by the County. Any sign use contrary to Title 17 is a public nuisance under Section 17.78, and 17.78.030 makes each day a separate misdemeanor offense.
