Butler County does not regulate garage-sale signs. Your township zoning resolution or city code sets the rules, which usually allow small temporary signs on your own property for a limited number of days and prohibit them in the public right-of-way.
As with political signs, temporary garage-sale signs in Butler County are governed by local zoning, not the county. Under ORC 519.02 townships may regulate the size, number, and placement of temporary signs in the unincorporated area; cities apply their own codes. Typical rules: signs allowed only during the sale plus a day or two before, limited square footage, placed on private property with the owner's permission, and no attachment to utility poles, traffic signs, or placement in the public right-of-way. Some jurisdictions cap the number of garage sales per year. Confirm the duration and placement limits with your township or city zoning office.
Signs left up after the sale or placed in the right-of-way are commonly removed by the township or road authority; repeated violations can bring a zoning notice and small fines.
