Plano does not require a permit for residential garage or yard sales. Sales must take place on private property during reasonable daytime hours. Signs advertising the sale must comply with the city's temporary sign regulations and may not be placed in the public right-of-way.
Plano's garage sale regulations for city limits allow residents to hold yard sales, garage sales, and estate sales with reasonable frequency limits. Most areas allow 2-4 sales per year, each lasting no more than 3 consecutive days. Sales must occur on the resident's own property, not on sidewalks or public rights-of-way. Temporary signs advertising the sale are typically allowed during the sale period but must be removed within 24 hours after the sale ends. Signs on public property, utility poles, or traffic signs are prohibited. Some areas require a free or low-cost temporary sale permit. Sales of new merchandise or commercial goods may be prohibited under home business regulations.
Exceeding frequency limits or operating ongoing sales may be treated as an unlicensed business with fines of $100–$500. Sign violations carry $25–$50 fines per sign.
