Lubbock County sets no garage-sale rules, and the City of Lubbock does not require a permit for a residential garage sale. Sale signs, however, may not be placed between the street and sidewalk or on utility poles, and belong on the sale property.
Texas counties cannot regulate residential garage sales in unincorporated areas, and the City of Lubbock does not require a garage-sale permit. The main restriction residents encounter is on signage: garage-sale signs must be on the sale property itself and are prohibited in the parkway (between street and sidewalk) and on utility poles. Occasional garage sales are also exempt from Texas sales tax under Comptroller rules for casual sales. Check with the City Codes Department before posting signs.
Improperly placed signs may be removed by the city and can draw a code-enforcement citation; there is no permit violation because no permit is required.
