Garage-sale sign rules come from your city or township, not Kent County. In Kentwood, temporary signs of six square feet or less must stay on the sale property and may not be placed on telephone poles or in the public right-of-way.
Kent County does not regulate temporary signage; each municipality does through its zoning ordinance. As a representative Kent County example, the City of Kentwood permits temporary signs of six (6) square feet or less (garage-sale, yard-sale, and real-estate signs) but requires them to be kept on the lot where the sale is taking place and prohibits placing them on telephone poles or in the public right-of-way. Kentwood also limits a garage/yard sale itself to no more than four days in any three-month period. Other Kent County cities and townships set their own size, placement, and duration limits, so check your local ordinance.
Signs placed off-property or in the right-of-way may be removed by the municipality, and repeat or oversized signage is a local civil infraction. In Kentwood, sales exceeding four days in a three-month period are treated as prohibited commercial use.
