Passaic County does not regulate garage-sale signs. Whether you can post them, where, and for how long is set by your borough, township, or city ordinance. Many towns ban signs in the public right-of-way and require prompt removal after the sale.
Temporary-sign and garage-sale regulations in New Jersey are adopted by municipalities under the Municipal Land Use Law (N.J.S.A. 40:55D-1 et seq.) and local licensing ordinances; the county has no role. Typical municipal rules limit garage-sale signs to the seller's own property, prohibit attaching them to utility poles, trees, or traffic signs, bar placement in the street right-of-way, and require removal within a day or two after the sale. Some towns also require a garage-sale permit itself. Signs placed illegally in a county road right-of-way may be removed by the county road department.
Signs in the right-of-way can be removed without notice; other violations draw municipal fines under the local sign or garage-sale ordinance.
