Pearland Chapter 11½ of the Code of Ordinances requires every residence holding a garage sale to apply for a permit, pick up city-issued signs, and follow advertising and frequency limits.
Pearland Chapter 11½ governs garage, yard, and estate sales. Residents must apply for a garage sale permit through the city's Water Billing Department or the online Cityworks portal before holding a sale. The city issues three event signs per permit, and only those signs may be used to advertise the sale. Signs cannot be placed in public rights-of-way or attached to utility poles, trees, public buildings, or street signs. To appear on the official Garage Sale Map, applications must be submitted and signs picked up before noon on the Wednesday preceding the sale. Permits are tied to the address and tracked toward the household's annual frequency limit.
Holding a garage sale without a permit, posting non-city signs in rights-of-way, or attaching signs to utility poles, trees, or street signs can result in code enforcement citations and removal of signs.
