Garage-sale signs fall under Adams County's content-neutral temporary sign rule: up to 32 sq ft, on private property, for no more than 14 consecutive days (twice per year per lot), with no sign permit. Signs in the road right-of-way are prohibited.
Adams County does not single out garage-sale signs; they are governed by the temporary-sign provisions of Sec. 4-17-03(12). A temporary sign may be up to 32 square feet and displayed for no more than 14 consecutive days, a maximum of two times per calendar year per lot. It must be placed on private property, outside any right-of-way or easement, positioned to avoid obstructing sightlines, and may not be illuminated. Signs attached to utility poles, trees, fences, or other public property, and any sign in the right-of-way, are prohibited. Incorporated cities have their own rules for yard-sale signage.
Signs stapled to poles or placed in the right-of-way are prohibited and subject to removal by the county; leaving signs up beyond the event is a code violation.
