Harris County has no sign ordinance for unincorporated areas. Business signs on residential property are unrestricted at the county level. Deed restrictions and HOA covenants commonly prohibit commercial signage. Political signs are protected under TX Property Code §202.009.
Harris County does not regulate business signage on private property in unincorporated areas. Texas counties lack the authority to enact sign ordinances for unincorporated land. Home business owners may post signs without county permits or restrictions. However, deed restrictions in most subdivisions prohibit commercial signage, and HOA architectural review committees commonly restrict sign size, placement, and type. Signs on county road rights-of-way may be removed by the county. Political signs are specifically protected under Texas Property Code §202.009, which limits HOA authority to restrict political sign display. The Texas Department of Transportation regulates signs along state highways under the Texas Litter Abatement Act.
No county signage violations for private property. Signs on county right-of-way: removal. Deed restriction violations: civil enforcement. TxDOT highway sign violations: removal and fines.
