Garage-sale signs may be placed on private property with permission but not on any public property or right-of-way. Under Chapter 32, signs illegally placed on public property are considered abandoned property and removed and disposed of by the parish without further notice.
Jefferson Parish Chapter 32 (Signs) governs garage-sale signage in the unincorporated parish. The parish gives notice to garage-sale permittees on their zoning-clearance and occupational-license applications that signs illegally placed on public property, including public rights-of-way, are abandoned property subject to immediate removal. Sale signs should be on the sale property or on other private property with the owner's consent, kept within the parish's size limits, and taken down promptly after the sale. Garage sales themselves require a parish permit through the online portal.
Signs on public property are removed and discarded by the parish; sign and permit violations can result in code-enforcement fines under Chapter 32.
