All Monmouth municipalities prohibit: signs attached to utility poles (NJ Title 48 and municipal codes prohibit this); signs on traffic control devices; signs on trees; signs in public rights-of-way; signs on school, government, or religious property without permission. Wire-frame yard signs are the most common compliant format. Permits for the garage sale itself are required in many Monmouth towns (Middletown, Freehold, Long Branch, Asbury Park, Red Bank) and typically include sign allowances. Illegal dumping of unsold items curbside after sale triggers separate property maintenance blight citations under municipal codes.
Signs on utility poles: removal and fine $25 to $50 per sign (most Monmouth towns). Signs not removed within 24 hours after sale: $25 to $100 per day. Excessive number of signs: warning then citation. Operating garage sale without required permit (Long Branch, Asbury Park, Red Bank, Middletown): additional $25 to $100 fine.
