Montgomery County has no sign ordinance. Temporary garage-sale signs are regulated by your borough or township — typical local rules limit sign size, allow posting only a few days around the sale, and prohibit signs in the public right-of-way.
Like all signage, garage-sale (yard-sale) signs fall under municipal zoning authority granted by MPC Section 603(b), not the county. Most municipalities treat them as temporary signs: allowed on the seller's own property, posted only for a short window (commonly the sale days plus a day or two before and after), capped at a small area, and banned from utility poles, street trees and the road right-of-way where they create sight hazards. Because a municipality must regulate signs content-neutrally, garage-sale signs are usually governed by the same temporary-sign limits as other non-commercial temporary signs. Check your borough or township sign ordinance for the exact size, duration and placement rules.
Signs left up too long, oversized, or placed in the right-of-way violate the local sign ordinance; the municipality may remove them and cite the property owner. Enforcement is municipal, not county.
