Garage sale signs in Corpus Christi must comply with the city's temporary sign regulations. On-site signs are permitted during the sale. Off-site signs must not be placed on utility poles, traffic signs, or in the public right-of-way. The city removes unauthorized signs from the right-of-way. Signs must be removed immediately when the sale ends.
Temporary garage sale signs in Corpus Christi are allowed during the period of an active yard or garage sale. Signs placed on the seller's own property have few restrictions beyond size limits (typically 4–6 square feet). Off-site directional signs may be placed at intersections with property owner permission. Signs on public property, utility poles, traffic signs, medians, and in public rights-of-way are prohibited and will be removed by city crews. Signs must not obstruct pedestrian or vehicle sight lines. All signs must be removed within 24 hours after the sale ends. Professional-quality signs suggesting ongoing commercial activity may trigger home business enforcement. Sign stakes must not be placed where they could damage underground utilities — call 811 before placing signs.
Signs on public property/utility poles: removed without notice, $25–$50 fine per sign. Signs remaining after sale: $25 per day. Signs obstructing traffic sight lines: immediate removal and $75 fine.
