Macomb County does not regulate garage-sale or yard-sale signs. Temporary sign rules, including size, how long signs may stay up, and where they may be placed, are set by each city, village, or township, and signs generally may not be placed in the public right-of-way.
Garage-sale and yard-sale signs in Macomb County fall under local sign ordinances rather than any county regulation. Under the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act, each municipality decides how temporary signs are handled, and most Macomb communities allow small garage-sale signs on the seller's own property but restrict how many days before and after the sale a sign may stay up. A common local rule bars attaching signs to utility poles, street signs, or trees, and bars signs in the right-of-way or on county roadway and drain property, where the road authority may remove them. Some cities require a permit for the sale itself and limit sales per year. A sign on another's property needs that owner's permission.
Posting garage-sale signs in the public right-of-way, nailing them to utility poles or trees, leaving them up beyond the permitted period, or exceeding local size limits can result in removal of the signs and civil fines under the local ordinance.
