Middlesex County has no garage-sale-sign ordinance. Temporary signs are regulated by each municipality's zoning ordinance under New Jersey's Municipal Land Use Law, and most towns limit size, display period, and prohibit signs in the public right-of-way.
Garage-sale and yard-sale signs in Middlesex County are governed by municipal sign ordinances, not county law. Under the Municipal Land Use Law (N.J.S.A. 40:55D-1 et seq.) and N.J.S.A. 40:55D-62, each municipality's governing body regulates temporary and directional signs. Towns such as New Brunswick, Edison, Woodbridge, Old Bridge, and Sayreville commonly require a garage-sale permit, cap the number of sales per year, limit sign size, allow signs only for a short window before and after the sale, and prohibit posting on utility poles, street signs, or in the public right-of-way. Directional signs placed away from the sale site are the type of off-premises signage many ordinances restrict. Signs may not block traffic sight lines or be attached to public property. Because
Posting garage-sale signs on utility poles, street signs, or in the public right-of-way, leaving them up beyond the allowed period, or exceeding local size limits can lead to removal and municipal penalties. Enforcement is by the municipality, not the county.
