Nueces County sets no garage-sale permit or limit because Texas counties cannot zone, so unincorporated residents face no county rule. Corpus Christi limits residents to three garage, yard, or estate sales per calendar year, each up to three days, with off-premise signs prohibited.
Because Texas counties have no zoning power, unincorporated Nueces County does not license or cap garage and yard sales. Rules exist only inside incorporated cities. Corpus Christi's code-compliance guidance states that three garage/yard/estate sales are permitted per calendar year, each lasting up to three days within two consecutive weeks, and that off-premise (directional) signs are prohibited (cited as sec. 38-3-9). Homes and lots must still be used in accordance with city zoning. Robstown, Port Aransas, and other cities set their own limits, so check the specific city before holding a sale.
In Corpus Christi, exceeding the three-sale limit or posting off-premise signs is a code violation subject to municipal fines; unincorporated county sales are unregulated.
