Prince William County allows temporary yard-sale, open-house, and real-estate directional signs under Chapter 32's sign rules. They must be on private property with the owner's consent, are limited in number and time, and cannot be placed in the public right-of-way.
Under the sign regulations in Chapter 32 (Part 250, Division 2), the county permits temporary signs including open-house and real-estate directional signs. County guidance describes up to three temporary signs for an open house that may be placed shortly before and after the event, and up to three off-site directional real-estate signs while a property is actively marketed, allowed on private property only with the owner's consent. Signs placed in the public right-of-way, on utility poles, or on public land are prohibited and may be removed. Confirm the exact number, size, and timing rules with Zoning Administration before posting.
Garage-sale and directional signs in the right-of-way or exceeding limits may be removed; repeat or improperly secured signs can incur penalties.
