Yard-sale signs are allowed on private property in Williamson County, but no temporary sign may sit in or project into the public road right-of-way. Roadside stakes along county roads and state highways get removed. Franklin and Brentwood set their own limits.
Williamson County's sign ordinance handles garage and yard-sale signs as temporary signs. On your own property, or another owner's with permission, a sale sign is allowed without a county permit. The catch is placement: no temporary sign may be located within or project into a public road right-of-way in the unincorporated county, which covers the roadside strip where people usually stake directional signs. County crews remove signs in county rights-of-way, and TDOT removes them along state highways. Inside a subdivision, the homeowners' association's covenants control temporary signs and often limit sale signs to the day of the event.
Signs in a county or state road right-of-way are removed by the county or TDOT with no reimbursement. Signs left up after the sale or attached to utility poles draw a zoning correction notice; HOA violations carry covenant fines.
