DeKalb County allows temporary garage sale signs on private property only. Signs in public right-of-way are prohibited and subject to removal. Must be removed within 24 hours of sale ending per Chapter 21.
DeKalb County Code Chapter 21 regulates temporary yard/garage sale signs. Signs are permitted on the property hosting the sale and with permission on other private property. Maximum size typically 4 sq ft. Placement on utility poles, street signs, trees in the right-of-way, and public property is prohibited and signs are subject to immediate removal by county staff. Signs must be posted no more than 48 hours before the sale and removed within 24 hours after. Residents are limited to a small number of garage sales per year (typically 2-4) under most Georgia jurisdictions; DeKalb does not require a permit for occasional residential sales but commercial-scale operations require a business license.
Signs in right-of-way: removed without notice. Signs remaining after sale: $25-$50 citation. Repeat offenders: up to $200 in Recorder's Court.
