Temporary garage sale signs allowed on private property with owner permission. Signs in public right-of-way or on utility poles prohibited under NY Transportation Law and Binghamton Code Ch. 410. Must be removed within 24-48 hours of sale.
Garage sale signage in Broome County is regulated by town/city sign codes and by NY state law. Binghamton Zoning Code Ch. 410 Article XXI (Signs) permits temporary non-commercial signs of limited size on private residential property during a sale, but prohibits signs in the public right-of-way or attached to utility poles, trees, traffic signs, or street furniture. NY Transportation Law §88 prohibits unauthorized signs on state highway rights-of-way; NY Vehicle & Traffic Law §1221 prohibits signs that imitate or obscure traffic-control devices. Town of Vestal and Town of Union codes similarly require signs on private property only, with owner consent, and mandate removal within 24-48 hours after the sale ends. Typical size limit 4-6 sq ft per sign. Content-based regulation is constrained by Reed v. Town of Gilbert (2015); towns generally regulate all temporary signs on the same durational and size terms regardless of message.
Removal by code enforcement or DPW without notice. Fines $25-$100 per sign in Binghamton and major towns. NYSDOT may remove right-of-way signs under 17 NYCRR Part 150.
