Our garage sale weekends have been very successful in the past and it is a great time to clean out, get rid of unused items taking up space and blow some fresh air into your home.
As usual, the OPT HOA will be providing banner signage at the major entrances to the community to help with promoting the sale. The signage is placed early in the morning and remains until the end of the day. Holding your garage sale on this weekend will increase attendance and sales at your event as well as help make our neighborhood safer and cleaner throughout the year.
A note about signs for your sale: Please remember when placing signs throughout the neighborhood it is illegal to place signs in public right of ways, esplanades and on traffic signs.The sheriff’s department can and will enforce the law and will issue citations and fines up to $1000 per sign. Please be considerate and remove any signage used for garage sales. It is against deed restrictions to post this type of signage and not remove it as soon as the event is over.
Please also be mindful of the traffic in front of your home that your garage sale will create and ask shoppers to park so that no driveways or road ways are blocked.
