Bristol County cities allow small temporary yard-sale signs on private property. Signs on utility poles, street trees, and public ROW prohibited. Many permits require same-day removal. New Bedford and Fall River actively remove sign clutter.
Fall River, New Bedford, and Taunton regulate garage-sale signs under general temporary sign provisions. Signs are typically limited to 4 to 6 square feet on private property with owner permission. Attaching signs to utility poles, street trees, traffic signs, or light standards is prohibited under both local code and MGL ch. 85 §8. Off-premises directional signs in the public ROW are generally barred. Some cities require a yard-sale permit (New Bedford limits residents to a set number of sales per year). Signs must be removed immediately after the sale ends, typically same day. DPW crews periodically clean up sign clutter on major routes.
Signs on poles or trees: removed without notice, $25 to $100 fine. Signs left after sale: $25 per day. Multiple unpermitted sales: zoning enforcement for unpermitted commercial activity.
