Norfolk County has no garage sale sign rule. Brookline, Quincy, and Weymouth all prohibit signs in public ROW and on utility poles. Signs must be on private property with owner consent.
Garage sale signs in Norfolk County are regulated by each town's general sign bylaw. Quincy Municipal Code §8.1.10 and Brookline Zoning §7.04 treat temporary yard-sale signs as temporary residential signs — typically 4-6 sq ft maximum, on-premises or on private property with consent, no earlier than 48 hours before the event and removed within 24 hours after. Weymouth Zoning §120-35 similarly limits temporary signs. All three towns actively remove signs stapled or zip-tied to utility poles under National Grid and Eversource right-of-use rules. Attaching signs to MassDOT signs or traffic control devices is prohibited under MGL c. 85 §8A. Quincy DPW runs weekend sign sweeps during peak yard-sale season (April-October).
Unauthorized ROW signs: removal plus $25-$100 per sign. Signs on utility poles: $50-$200 fine. Repeated offenses in Brookline: up to $300/day under non-criminal disposition.
