York County's zoning code regulates garage-sale signs on private property by size and placement, and no county permit covers a sign in the state right-of-way. S.C. Code §57-25-10 makes it unlawful to place any sign in a highway right-of-way.
On your own property, York County's zoning ordinance treats a garage-sale sign as a temporary sign, allowing it within size and placement limits, and cities set their own temporary-sign rules. South Carolina has no statute singling out yard-sale signs. The catch is placement off your land: §57-25-10 makes it unlawful to display, place, or affix a sign within a state highway right-of-way visible from the road, which covers the strip along most state roads where people stake sale signs, and SCDOT crews remove them. In a deed-restricted subdivision, HOA covenants govern temporary signs and often limit sale signs to the day of the event.
Signs placed in a state highway right-of-way violate §57-25-10, a misdemeanor with up to a $100 fine, and are removed by SCDOT. HOA sign violations draw the covenant fines the association sets.
