Seminole County regulates temporary signs, including garage-sale signs, under the Land Development Code sign standards. Signs may not be placed in the public right-of-way or on public property, must be on private property with the owner's permission, and should be removed promptly after the sale.
There is no separate garage-sale sign ordinance; garage-sale signs fall under the county's temporary-sign provisions in Land Development Code Chapter 30, Part 13 (Sign Regulations). The county's blanket rule that no signs are permitted in the right-of-way or on public property applies, so signs stapled to utility poles or planted in medians and roadsides are prohibited and may be removed. Signs must be on private property with the property owner's permission and taken down when the sale ends. Residential temporary-sign size limits apply. Incorporated cities set their own garage-sale sign rules, so check your city if you live inside Sanford, Lake Mary, Oviedo, etc.
Signs placed in the right-of-way or on public property may be removed by the county and are subject to Code Enforcement; repeat placement can draw fines.
