Genesee County has no countywide garage-sale-sign rule. Your city, village, or township sets where and how long temporary sale signs may be posted, and signs may never be placed in the public road right-of-way.
Temporary signs advertising a garage or yard sale are regulated by local sign ordinances within Genesee County, not by the county. Common local rules limit how many days before and after the sale a sign may be up (often a few days), prohibit posting on utility poles, street signs, and trees, and require placement on private property with the owner's permission. Statewide, no sign may be placed in the public road right-of-way, and the road authority may remove those that are. Check your municipality's ordinance for size limits and removal deadlines before posting.
Signs left up past the local time limit or placed in the right-of-way may be removed; municipal ordinances set any fines.
