Bronx residents may not post garage sale signs on trees, utility poles, street signs, or any public property per NYC Admin Code §10-119. Violators face 50-250 dollar fines per sign, and DSNY removes posted signs during routine enforcement.
Signs are permitted only on the property hosting the sale, or on other private property with owner consent. Signs must be removed immediately after the sale. Many Bronx community boards (especially CB 10 and CB 11) actively report posted garage sale signs to 311. Corporate/commercial signs posted on public property can trigger 75-dollar-per-sign fines under §10-119(b) and civil lawsuits by the City.
First sign: 50 dollars. Multiple signs: 75-250 dollars each. Sign still posted after event: additional fine per day.
