Garage sale signs on Oahu are temporary announcing signs under ROH Sec. 21-7.20, exempt from permits but barred from the public right-of-way under Sec. 21-7.30.
ROH Sec. 21-7.20 treats garage sale, yard sale, and similar announcing signs as temporary signs. These signs are exempt from the standard sign permit requirement but must still comply with the size, setback, and duration limits applicable in the underlying residential district. Posting on utility poles, street trees, public benches, medians, or other property within the public right-of-way is prohibited under ROH Sec. 21-7.30, and City crews routinely remove such signs. Off-premise signs on private property require the consent of the landowner.
Signs in the right-of-way are removed and discarded. Repeat violations and oversized signs can trigger warning letters and fines under the LUO sign article.
