Virginia Beach restricts temporary garage sale signs under the city's sign ordinance. Signs are permitted on private property but prohibited on public rights-of-way, utility poles, and traffic signs. Signs must be removed after the sale ends.
Garage sale signs on private property are limited in size (typically 4-6 square feet). Signs may not be placed on utility poles, traffic signs, medians, or in the public right-of-way. VDOT may remove signs from state road rights-of-way. Directional signs require property owner permission. Signs must be removed within 24 hours after the sale. No permit is required for temporary signs within limits.
Signs in the right-of-way may be removed by the city or VDOT. Failure to remove signs may result in code enforcement action and fines.
