Garage sale signs regulated by municipality. Typical Allegheny County rule: signs allowed on private property with owner permission, posted 1 to 3 days before sale, removed within 24 hours of sale end. No signs on utility poles or public right-of-way.
Most municipal sign codes permit temporary garage sale signs under 4 to 6 square feet without permit. Placement on utility poles, traffic signs, and public right-of-way prohibited under municipal ordinance and PA Vehicle Code 75 Pa.C.S. 6109. Signs must be removed within 24 hours of sale. Some municipalities (Pittsburgh, Mt. Lebanon) actively remove illegal signs during cleanup sweeps.
Typical fine 25 dollars per sign in public right-of-way plus removal cost. Repeat offenders may face municipal code citations up to 300 dollars.
