Paramus permits temporary garage sale signs only with a borough permit, limits sign size to six square feet and five feet tall, and restricts where and when signs may appear before and after the sale.
Under the Borough of Paramus sign provisions tied to Chapter 256 (Garage Sales), temporary residential garage sale signs may not exceed six square feet in area or five feet in height. Signs may be located on the premises where the sale takes place or on other private property within 200 feet of the premises with the owner's consent. Signs may be posted no more than 24 hours before the sale begins and must be removed within 24 hours after the sale ends. A garage sale permit is required from the Borough Clerk before signs may be posted, and only two permits per residence are allowed each year.
Signs posted without a permit, placed in public rights-of-way, or left up beyond the 24-hour post-sale window are subject to removal and fines under the sign and garage sale chapters.
