Tinley Park, IL Sign Regulations: Garage Sale Signs (2026)

Garage sale (yard sale, estate sale) signs in Tinley Park are temporary signs regulated by the Village sign code. Signs on the sale property and with the consent of neighboring property owners on their own lawns are permitted. Signs may not be placed in the public right-of-way, which includes parkways between sidewalks and streets, medians, traffic islands, or attached to utility poles, traffic signs, or trees in the parkway. Signs placed in the right-of-way are typically removed by Village crews and the responsible party may be subject to fines. Signs should be removed within 24 hours after the sale ends. Garage sales themselves are regulated under property maintenance and business licensing rules: typical limits include a set number of garage sales per year per address (commonly 3 to 4), with each sale limited to 3 consecutive days. Some Tinley Park subdivisions coordinate neighborhood-wide garage sales annually, which simplifies advertising. Garage sales are not considered commercial activity for zoning purposes when conducted within Village limits.
