Tulsa regulates temporary signs including garage sale signs through its zoning code. On-site garage sale signs are permitted during the sale period. Off-site signs in the public right-of-way are generally prohibited and subject to removal.
Temporary garage sale signs may be displayed on the property where the sale takes place. Signs placed on utility poles, street signs, or in the public right-of-way are prohibited and may be removed by the city without notice. Signs should not obstruct pedestrian or vehicular traffic. The city's code enforcement handles sign violation complaints. Tulsa does not require permits for temporary garage sale signs on private property.
Signs placed in the right-of-way may be removed by city crews. Repeated violations can result in code enforcement citations. Attaching signs to utility poles is a separate violation.
