Morris County does not regulate garage-sale signs. Your town's ordinance controls where you may post them, how big they can be, how long they may stay up, and whether they are allowed in the public right-of-way. Most towns prohibit tacking signs to utility poles, trees, or street signs.
Temporary signs, including garage- and yard-sale signs, are governed by municipal sign ordinances under the Municipal Land Use Law (N.J.S.A. 40:55D). Common local rules limit signs to private property with the owner's consent, cap the display period to the days around the sale, require prompt removal afterward, and forbid placement on public right-of-way, utility poles, trees, and traffic signs. Some Morris County towns also require a garage-sale permit that includes sign conditions. Check your township clerk or zoning office for the exact size limits, duration, and permit requirement before posting signs.
Signs posted in the right-of-way or left up after a sale may be removed by the town, and violators can be fined under the local sign ordinance.
