Rochester permits garage sale signs under general temporary sign rules (§120-173). Signs limited to private property with owner permission. Utility poles and rights-of-way prohibited. Irondequoit, Greece, and Brighton have similar 2-day posting windows.
Rochester Municipal Code §120-173 treats garage sale signs as temporary signs — allowed on private property with permission, removed within 24 hours of event end. Signs on utility poles, light poles, street signs, or in public rights-of-way are prohibited under §120-173(C) and §84-15 (Parks/ROW). Brighton Town Code §203-30 limits temporary signs to 6 sq ft and requires removal within 48 hours of the sale. Most Monroe County towns allow 3-4 off-premises directional signs on private property with owner consent. No permit required. Penfield Town Code §250-8.6 similarly limits temporary signs to 6 sq ft and 14-day duration.
Signs on utility poles: removal by DPW, fine $25-$100. Signs not removed after sale: $25 per day. Obstructing visibility: immediate removal order.
