Ocean County municipalities permit garage sale signs on private property only. Toms River Ch. 348 bans signs on utility poles, street signs, and public ROW. Signs must come down within 24 hours after sale ends.
No county sign code — each Ocean County municipality regulates through its zoning code. Toms River, Brick, Lakewood, Jackson, Berkeley, and shore boroughs typically allow temporary garage/yard sale signs on the seller's own property. Signs on public property (utility poles, traffic signs, streetlight poles) and in the public right-of-way are prohibited and subject to immediate removal by public works. A typical size cap is 4 to 6 sq ft. Most Ocean County towns require a garage sale permit from the clerk or zoning office (fee usually $5 to $25, limited to 2 sales per household per year). Directional signs on neighbors' private property require that owner's permission. Signs must be removed within 24 hours of sale end. Barrier-island boroughs (Lavallette, Long Beach Township, Seaside Park) tend to have the strictest enforcement during the summer season.
Signs on utility poles or in ROW: removed without notice; repeat offenders fined $25 to $100 per occurrence. Signs left up past deadline: $25 per day. Operating a garage sale without required permit: typical fine $50 to $250.
