Summary
In unincorporated Clark County, a garage sale sign is a 'Portable Sign' under the Unified Development Code: a temporary sign you can put up for the sale, but it must come down immediately once the sale ends.
Portable Sign
A temporary sign, in place for a limited duration (e.g., for a garage
sale, open house, or election), and which must be immediately removed after completion of the event, or in
the case of elections, shall follow NRS time guidelines for removal.
Premises
The structure(s) and land upon which a sign or signs are displayed.

Full Breakdown
Clark County Code § 30.07.02 defines 'Portable Sign' as a temporary sign in place for a limited duration, its own example is a garage sale, that must be immediately removed after the event ends. The county's sign table at § 30.05.03H caps a Portable Sign at 16 square feet, requires the property owner's consent before it goes up, and lets code enforcement impound any sign left standing after the sale along with fines. This applies countywide in unincorporated areas, including the Strip resort corridor in Paradise and Winchester; Las Vegas itself runs its own separate sign code.
Violations & Fines
Leaving the sign up after the sale ends risks impoundment under § 30.05.03H, plus a daily fine under Title 1.14 once the county issues a Notice of Abatement.
