Ramsey County has no garage-sale sign ordinance. Temporary signs are regulated by each city's sign code (St. Paul Chapter 64) under Minn. Stat. 462.357. Typically no permit is needed for small on-premise signs, but signs in the public right-of-way, boulevards, or utility poles are prohibited and get removed.
Signs advertising a garage or estate sale are governed by city sign codes, not Ramsey County. Under St. Paul's zoning-code Chapter 64 (temporary and portable signs, Sec. 64.419), small temporary signs on the property where the sale occurs generally do not require a permit but are limited in size and display duration. Off-premise signs stuck on boulevards, traffic-sign posts, or utility poles are prohibited public-right-of-way violations and are routinely removed by the city. Suburbs set their own limits, so confirm size, number, and how many days before the sale a sign may go up with your city.
Cities remove signs illegally placed in the public right-of-way and may fine repeat offenders. Oversized or long-standing temporary signs can also draw sign-code citations.
