Full Breakdown

070(A)(6), signage for a permitted yard sale is limited to one sign posted on the property where the sale is held, and only for the duration of the sale itself; the sign must be removed once the sale is over. The sign may not exceed two feet by two feet in size. The section additionally bars placement of the sign in the public right-of-way, and subsection (A)(7) separately bars placing any goods in the public right-of-way during the sale. , an off-site directional sign, a second on-site sign, or an oversized sign at a yard sale is a permit violation, not merely a sign-code technicality.

15 of the zoning ordinance, which govern permanent and temporary business signage citywide; the yard sale sign limit applies only to the one-sign, one-location allowance tied to a yard sale permit and does not authorize directional signs at other locations pointing toward the sale.

Violations & Fines

Posting more than one yard sale sign, posting a sign larger than two feet by two feet, placing a sign in the public right-of-way, or leaving the sign up after the sale ends violates Section 5.20.070(A)(6). Because the sign condition is part of the yard sale permit itself, a violation can jeopardize the permit issued by the finance department in addition to any sign-removal order.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many signs can I post for my Upland yard sale?
Just one. Section 5.20.070(A)(6) limits signage to a single sign posted on the property where the sale is held, displayed only for the duration of the sale, and the sign cannot exceed two feet by two feet in size.
Can I put a yard sale sign on the street corner or in the road easement?
No. Section 5.20.070(A)(6) prohibits placing the yard sale sign in the public right-of-way, and subsection (A)(7) separately bars putting any sale goods in the right-of-way as well.
Do I need to take my yard sale sign down after the sale ends?
Yes. Section 5.20.070(A)(6) authorizes the sign only for the duration of the sale, so it must come down once the sale is over; leaving it up afterward is a violation of the same yard sale regulations that require the finance department permit.
