Cedar Hill restricts garage sale signs to private property with the owner's permission, prohibits attachment to utility poles or street signs, and requires removal within 24 hours of the sale ending.
Cedar Hill's sign ordinance regulates temporary garage and yard sale signs as a class of off-premises temporary signs. Signs may be placed only on private property with the express permission of the property owner, must not exceed roughly 4-6 square feet (per the sign code), and may not be placed in the public right-of-way, on traffic control devices, on utility poles, or on street name signs. Posting in medians is also prohibited. Code Enforcement officers routinely sweep arterials on Mondays and after weekends to remove illegally placed signs. Repeat violators may receive citations under the city's general penalty provisions, which carry fines up to the maximum allowed under Tex. Local Gov't Code Section 54.001.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Cedar Hill code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
