Jackson County permits temporary garage sale signs on private property with size limits around 4 to 6 square feet. Signs on utility poles, street signs, and in public rights-of-way along county roads and Highway 90 are prohibited and will be removed. Signs must come down within 24 hours after the sale ends.
Jackson County's sign ordinance classifies garage sale signs as temporary event signs permitted on private property with owner consent. Signs are limited to 4 square feet in residential areas with a maximum height of 4 feet. Up to 3 directional signs may be placed on private property along the route to the sale with written owner permission. Signs may not be affixed to utility poles, traffic signs, street signs, or any public structure, and may not be placed in the public right-of-way along county roads, state highways (Hwy 90, Hwy 613, MS-609), or I-10. MDOT removes right-of-way signs along state routes. Signs must not obstruct sight triangles at intersections. Signs may be posted up to 48 hours before the sale and must be removed within 24 hours after the sale concludes. Some Jackson County municipalities require a garage sale permit (typically $5 to $10) limiting sales to 2 to 3 per year per address. Wire-frame yard signs are the standard. Permanent or reusable signs are prohibited.
Signs on utility poles or in right-of-way: removed without notice, $25 to $50 fine per sign. Signs not removed within 24 hours after sale: $25 per day. Excessive number of directional signs: written warning, then citation. Permit violation for excessive sales: additional $50 to $200 fine.
