Garage-sale signs are temporary signs in St. Johns County — up to two per residential parcel, 6 square feet each, no permit. Florida Statute §337.407(1) makes it illegal to plant one in a state road right-of-way, where crews remove them.
On your own residential lot, a yard-sale sign follows the same LDC §7.02.02 temporary-sign limits as any other: two signs maximum, 6 square feet per face, 6 feet tall, a 5-foot front setback, no illumination, and no permit. The signs must come down within seven days after the event. The common trap is placement off your property — §337.407(1) bars any sign in the right-of-way of the interstate, State Highway System, or state park roads, which covers the shoulders of US-1, SR-16, and A1A where people stake sale signs, and the county clears signs from county rights-of-way too. Inside Nocatee, Ponte Vedra, and other HOA or CDD communities, deed restrictions often limit sale signs to the day of the sale.
Signs in a state or county right-of-way are subject to removal under §337.407, and oversized or excess signs on private property violate LDC §7.02.02. Sign-code penalties are civil only.
