Garage sale signs in Tulsa County are regulated as temporary signs under Tulsa Zoning Code Title 42 and state law. Signs in the public right-of-way or on utility poles are prohibited by 69 O.S. §1219, and sign size is typically capped at 6 square feet. Most garage sales do not require a county permit.
Tulsa County does not require a general garage sale permit in unincorporated areas, and signs advertising yard or garage sales are treated as temporary, non-commercial signs under Tulsa Zoning Code Title 42 Chapter 60. Typical rules: residential signs up to 6 square feet per face, no permit, must be on private property (with owner permission for off-premises directional signs). Placement on utility poles, street signs, or within the public right-of-way (typically 10 to 15 feet from the pavement edge on county roads) is prohibited by 69 O.S. §1219, which makes obstruction of a highway a misdemeanor, and by ODOT right-of-way rules. Signs should be posted no more than 48 hours before the sale and removed within 24 hours after. Some incorporated cities in the county—Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Bixby, Jenks—require a garage sale permit (usually $5 to $10) and limit the number of sales per year.
Sign on utility pole or in ROW: removal and fine up to $100. Oversized sign: warning then citation. Not removed after sale: abandoned sign ordinance, fines $25-$50 per day. Holding a garage sale in an incorporated city without a permit: fine up to $100.
