Like political signs, garage-sale signs may not be placed in Lane County road right-of-way and cannot obscure traffic-control devices (Lane Code 15.205(2)). Put them on private property with the owner's permission, and remove them promptly after the sale. Illegally placed signs are removed by Public Works.
Lane County regulates all signs in the road right-of-way the same way under Lane Code 15.205(2): no signs between pavement and fence line in rural areas, or in the planting strip between sidewalk and curb in developed areas. Garage-sale and other temporary signs should be placed on private property, behind utility facilities, and only with the property owner's permission. They must not hide a traffic-control device. There is no county permit for a residential yard sale, but signs left in the right-of-way are removed by Public Works and held 30 days at 3040 N. Delta Highway before destruction. On state highways, ODOT's 12-square-foot limit and right-of-way ban apply.
Signs in the right-of-way are removed without notice; recover them within 30 days at 3040 N. Delta Highway or they are destroyed.
