Jefferson County allows temporary garage sale signs up to 4 square feet on private property. Signs on utility poles or public rights-of-way prohibited. Signs must be removed within 24 hours after the sale ends.
Jefferson County Zoning Regulations permit temporary garage sale signs as exempt from general sign permits when under 4 square feet and posted no earlier than 48 hours before the sale. Birmingham Code §13-1-24 restricts signs on public property and utility poles. Off-premises directional signs are allowed on private property with owner permission. Placement must not obstruct sight distance at intersections or block pedestrian paths. Birmingham and Hoover both require removal within 24 hours of the sale's end. Alabama does not preempt local sign regulation for temporary garage sale signs. No permit is required for the sale itself in unincorporated Jefferson County, but Birmingham limits residents to 2-3 sales per calendar year.
Signs on utility poles: removal without notice and possible $50 fine per Birmingham Code §13-1-24. Signs not removed within 24 hours: $25-$50 fine per sign. Excessive garage sales in Birmingham: zoning violation citation.
