Rankin County allows temporary yard sale signs on private property with owner permission. Signs in state highway rights-of-way and on utility poles are prohibited. No countywide garage sale permit is required. Signs must be removed immediately after the sale.
Rankin County does not have a specific garage sale sign ordinance at the county level. General sign restrictions apply: signs in MDOT rights-of-way violate MS Code §65-1-141 and are subject to removal. Signs attached to utility poles violate Entergy Mississippi and Mississippi Power policies and may violate county nuisance rules. Signs must not obstruct sight distance at intersections. Placement on private property requires the property owner's consent. Cities within Rankin County may have stricter rules: Brandon and Pearl generally permit temporary yard sale signs but prohibit them on utility poles, street signs, or ROW. Wire-frame signs are the most common format. Signs should be removed within 24 hours after the sale ends.
Signs on utility poles: removal by utility company or county, no fine typical. Signs in MDOT ROW: removal without notice. Left up past sale end: code enforcement warning then removal.
