Firestone Guide to Garage, Yard and Estate Sale Signs
With garage sale season fast approaching, the Town of Firestone wants citizens to be aware of the Town’s rules regarding the placement of garage, yard and estate sale signs on private and public property, including public rights-of-way.
The Town is committed to maintaining sign requirements that allow for reasonable, temporary signs for these types of sales, while maintaining the community’s aesthetic quality of life. These rules are intended to make reasonable allowance for garage, yard and estate sale signs, and to deter the placement of signs that create hazards or contribute to visual clutter.
The following summarize Firestone’s rules on garage, yard and estate sale signs:
Location: Garage, yard and estate sale signs are allowed on public and private property, including rights-of-way. However, all signs must meet all of the following requirements:
Size & Height Limits: Signs cannot be larger than six square feet—the same size as a standard 2’ by 3’ foot real estate sign. Signs must be no higher than three feet high.
Prohibited Locations: Garage, yard and estate sale signs cannot be posted or displayed on utility poles, utility boxes, or other public facilities, or within street medians. Do not place signs in a manner that creates a hazard for vehicles or pedestrians.
Time Signs Are Allowed: Signs can be displayed no more than 48 hours before the first day of the sale, and must be removed by 7:00 p.m. on the day after the last day of the sale. (For example, for a sale that runs from 9:00 Friday until noon on Sunday, signs can be up from 9:00 a.m. on the Wednesday before until 7:00 p.m. on the Monday after.)
Identification: Each sign must have written on it that name and address of the person conducting the sale, and the end date of the sale.
The Town may remove and dispose of signs that do not meet these requirements.
Please be respectful of public property and promptly remove your signs after your sale is over.
Any questions regarding the Town’s rules on signage can be directed to the Firestone Police Department, (303) 833-0811.
