- Check with your local government to see if you need a permit.

- Contact Kathy Sparks, of Team Sparks Realty Group, Inc. your local community REALTOR®, for free use of a large A-frame garage sale street sign. (If possible, please pickup signs by Thursday or Friday between 3:30 p.m. - 5 p.m. and return them the next Monday at 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.)
- Advertise on Craigslist, facebook, and online yard sale sites.
- If you have enough protected space make sure you state “Rain or Shine” in your advertising. If you don’t then leave the next weekend free as a rain check date.
- Decide on your pricing strategy in advance of the sale. Plan for left over items...consider donating to a charity.
- Put price stickers on all items. When the items sells, put the stick in a price book, this way you have an inventory of what you’ve sold plus a cross reference for counting your cash.
The Public Works Agency strictly enforces the placement of yard signs on streets.
Please adhere to these guidelines so the sign will not be confiscated:
Never place a sign on a median strip
Always leave at least 36” allowance on sidewalks in consideration of pedestrians and wheel chair bound persons.
By following these guidelines, you enable us to continue to offer these signs to our community in an effort to keep our neighborhood clean.
