GARAGE SALE SIGNS

Where They Belong

From: CC District 4 Field Office Subject: garage sale signs: we have the following information: Chapter 16 of the City of San Antonio Code of Ordinances, Artcile XII, Sec. 16-293 states: "(b) Garage sale signs shall be temporary signs in nature only. No signs shall be exhibited more than two (2) days prior to the sale, and shall be removed at the expiration of the garage sale permit. The person or persons exercising ownership or leasehold rights over property on which a garage sale is held or advertised to be held shall be presumed to have placed and exhibited the sign advertising the garage sale which identifies the person's address or location at which the garage sale is to be held. This presumption may be rebutted by evidence to the contrary. (c) Signs must be staked on the garage sale operator's private property (not closer than (5) feet to the front or side of property lines) and cannot be attached to utility poles, streetlight standards, or other public facilities." This information is given to every person who obtains a garage sale permit. The City department responsible for enforcing this ordinance is Building Inspections. The person to contact is the Sign Inspector, Mr. Nick Harris. He can be reached at 207-8289.
