Turlock allows only ONE garage-sale sign per sale, and it must be displayed on the property where the sale is held. Yard-sale signs may not be posted on light poles, traffic signs, or any city property. Sales require a $15 permit, are limited to two per year, and run any three days within a seven-day period.
The City of Turlock regulates both the garage sale itself and its signage. On signs, the City states that yard-sale signs are NOT permitted to be posted on light poles, traffic signs, or any city property, and that only ONE sign is permitted for each yard sale, to be displayed on the property where the sale is taking place. In other words, off-site directional signs (on poles, corners, or in the public right-of-way) are not allowed; the single permitted sign must be on the sale site. On the sale itself, the Turlock Municipal Code allows two garage sales per calendar year per household, with a permitted sale being any three days within a seven-day period, and prohibits selling new items. A garage-sale permit must be obtained at least five days before the sale and displayed at the site; the permit costs $15.00 from the Recreation Department at 144 S. Broadway, or online. These rules keep occasional residential sales from operating as ongoing retail businesses in residential zones and reduce sign clutter on public infrastructure. Violations are handled by Code Enforcement, which can be reached at (209) 664-7348.
Posting yard-sale signs on light poles, traffic signs, or city property, displaying more than one sign, holding a sale without the required $15 permit, exceeding two sales per year, or selling new items can result in code enforcement and sign removal.
