Garage sale signs may be placed only on the sale property and, with adjacent owner permission, nearby private property — never on utility poles, street trees, or public right-of-way. Signs must be removed within 24 hours of sale end.
City Code sign regulations (Chapter 5.4 / zoning sign schedule) prohibit temporary signs on public property. DPW regularly removes signs stapled to utility poles, stuck on street trees, or jammed into curb strips. Allowed: signs on the sale property, on private lawns with owner consent, and A-frame signs carried by a person. Sign size typically capped at 4-6 sq ft.
Signs in ROW: $50-$100 per sign, immediate removal. Failure to remove after sale: additional $100 fine.
