Cedar Hill residents are generally limited to a small number of garage sales per year (often 3-4), each lasting up to 3 days; signs restricted to the property.
Cedar Hill regulates residential garage, yard, estate, and moving sales to prevent unlicensed retail use of homes. Residents are typically limited to 3-4 sales per calendar year per address, with each sale lasting no more than three consecutive days. Some cities require a free or low-fee permit obtained from City Hall before the sale; check with Cedar Hill Code Enforcement for current requirements. Signs advertising the sale must be placed only on the property hosting the sale (not in public rights-of-way, on utility poles, or at intersections), must be removed within 24 hours of sale end, and cannot exceed posted size limits. Hours of operation are usually limited to daylight hours. Items must be the homeowner's used personal property, not commercial inventory.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Cedar Hill code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
