they change from district to district. Contact your local city's gov't office.

Each jurisdiction has their own specific sign-posting laws.
Some Federal, State, County, City, or even portion of a city can have specific signage laws for specific things.
In the city where I live, on all metal stoplight-poles is a posting of a law prohibiting the attachment of any non-city sign. This includes yard sale signs, lost pets, school carnival posters, etc.
I know of a city where "house for sale" signs are only allowed to be posted in 1/4 the standard size, and that sign may not be posted in the yard, but must be in a window of the house.

It is usually regulated by each city / town.
You could also have Homeowners Association rules to worry about.
I know in San Jose it is not legal to post things on the street light poles (but people often do anyway)
There are size limitations for signs you put into the ground too - even if it is on your own property

Size and placement is governed by local ordinance so it varies by town and city. Content can not be regulated. e.g. if you can place a 8x11 sign saying "for sale" you can place a 8x11 sign saying "Bush is a moron"
