Baton Rouge has no dedicated garage-sale-sign ordinance, but §13:63 and §13:63.1 prohibit posting signs on others' property without permission and ban posting on public right-of-way poles and posts. Fines of $50–$500 apply.
Title 13 of the Baton Rouge Code of Ordinances governs signs on public and private property. Section 13:63 makes it unlawful to post signs on another's property without consent. Section 13:63.1 specifically prohibits attaching signs, handbills, or advertisements to utility poles, street signs, traffic signals, and other objects in the public right-of-way. No city ordinance establishes a specific garage-sale-sign permit. Signs placed on a homeowner's own private property for a temporary sale are generally permitted without a permit, but may not be erected in the public right-of-way.
Violations of §13:63.1 (posting on ROW poles or public objects) carry fines of $50 to $500 and/or up to 60 days imprisonment per offense.
