LaPorte County, IN Sign Regulations: Garage Sale Signs (2026)

075(I) folds sign timing into its garage and yard sale rule for the unincorporated county: signs advertising a garage or yard sale can be posted up to seven days prior to the sale day, and must come down no later than two days after the sale ends. The rule pairs with the sale's own limits, since a qualifying sale is capped at three per calendar year and five consecutive days under the same subsection, so a property's signage window is tied directly to that schedule.

The code separately requires that once the sale is over, all signs for the garage or yard sale be removed along with any merchandise still displayed outside, closing the loop so signage does not linger after the sale has ended. Because it sits in Chapter 157's Signs and Billboards article for the unincorporated county's Zoning Ordinance, this timing rule applies only outside Michigan City, La Porte and the county's other incorporated municipalities, each of which sets its own sign rules.
