Full Breakdown
LDC Article 3.4 permits garage, yard, tag, patio and apartment sales as an accessory use in all residential and mixed-use districts, limited to one sale per six-month period for a duration not to exceed three days. For signage, the LDC's Outdoor Sign Standards (Sec. 3.17.8) require a temporary sign use permit for temporary signs, and Sec. 3.17.2 bars any temporary sign from county road rights-of-way. Keep garage-sale signs on private property (with permission) and remove them promptly after the sale. Inside Kissimmee/St. Cloud, city rules apply.
Violations & Fines
Signs placed in the right-of-way face Code Enforcement action and a $10.00 per-sign removal fee; exceeding the sale frequency/duration is a Land Development Code violation.
