Bergen County does not regulate garage sale signs on private property. Individual municipalities limit sign size, posting duration, and location, generally prohibiting placement on utility poles, public trees, and county or state roadway rights-of-way.
Garage and yard sale signs in Bergen County are regulated through municipal sign ordinances rather than at the county level. Typical municipal rules across Bergen County allow temporary garage sale signs no larger than 4 to 6 square feet, posted no more than 24 to 48 hours before the sale, and removed within 24 hours after. Most municipalities prohibit fastening signs to utility poles, traffic signs, and public trees under N.J.S.A. 48:7-1, with violations subject to immediate removal. Many towns also require a garage sale permit, typically costing $5 to $25, before any signs may be posted advertising the sale.
Improperly placed garage sale signs are typically removed without notice, with fines of $25 to $100 for repeat violations or signs in public rights-of-way.
