Essex County does not regulate garage-sale or yard-sale signs on private property or public streets. Sign placement, size, and duration are governed by each municipality's local ordinances.
Garage-sale signs are a purely local matter in Essex County. Each municipality sets its own rules on where temporary sale signs may be posted, their maximum size, how long they can stay up, and whether a yard-sale permit is required at all. Many Essex County towns prohibit posting signs on utility poles, street trees, and within the public right-of-way, and require prompt removal after the sale. The county government does not issue garage-sale permits or regulate these signs on residential property. Signs on Essex County park land, however, fall under the county park ordinance (Chapter 74) and need the Director's authorization. Confirm sign rules and any permit requirement with your municipal clerk.
Signs left up too long or posted on poles or in the right-of-way may be removed by the municipality and can draw fines set by the local ordinance.
