Garage-sale and other temporary signs are governed by city sign codes, not Anoka County. Blaine's rules state no signs are allowed in the right-of-way and the city may remove any right-of-way signage without notice. Temporary signs must sit at least 10 feet from property lines and be located only on the property where the sale or event occurs, with no off-site signs. Signs must be maintained and removed when faded, frayed, or damaged. Statewide, MnDOT prohibits private signs on highway right-of-way, and signs may not be attached to utility poles, trees, or traffic devices. Check your specific city for duration limits and any temporary-sign permit requirements.
Signs placed in the right-of-way or off-site can be removed without notice. Repeated or off-site violations may draw a city citation and fine set by ordinance.
