Dakota County has no ordinance on garage sale signs. Where and how long you may post them, and whether signs are allowed in the public right-of-way, are set by your city's sign code under Minn. Stat. 462.357. Signs in state or county road right-of-way are generally prohibited.
Temporary garage or estate sale signs are a municipal matter in Dakota County. Under Minnesota's municipal zoning authority, Minn. Stat. 462.357, cities decide whether garage sale signs are allowed, their maximum size, how many days before and after the sale they may stay up, and whether they may be placed on boulevards or utility poles. Separately, placing signs within a state or county highway right-of-way is generally prohibited and such signs can be removed by the road authority. The county publishes no garage sale sign ordinance for city lots, so check your specific city's rules and keep signs on private property or approved locations.
Cities may remove non-conforming garage sale signs and issue citations under their sign codes. Signs illegally placed in road right-of-way can be removed by the road authority. Penalties are set locally.
