Garage-sale signs on your own property face no county permit in unincorporated Washington County. Off it, Ark. Code §27-67-304 makes state highway rights-of-way inviolate and bars every sign but traffic signs, so ARDOT removes sale signs staked along highways.
The county does not require a permit for a yard-sale sign posted on your own land. The catch is placement off the property. Section 27-67-304 holds the rights-of-way of all state highways inviolate and prohibits signs other than traffic signs or signals inside those limits, which covers the strip along most state routes where people stake directional signs, and ARDOT crews remove them. Utility poles and traffic-sign posts are never fair game. Inside Fayetteville or Springdale, the city sign code governs and often limits temporary signs to the sale dates. In a subdivision, HOA covenants may restrict sale signs to the day of the event.
Signs in a state highway right-of-way violate §27-67-304 and are removed by ARDOT. City sign-code or HOA covenant violations carry the fines those rules set.
