Fulshear prohibits posting garage sale signs on utility poles, lampposts, shade trees, public structures, medians, or any city right-of-way, even though residential garage sales themselves are allowed.
Fulshear's sign regulations make it a code violation to attach or post any notice, poster, or paper device, including garage and yard sale signs, on a utility pole, lamp post, shade tree, public structure, public building, city median, or city right-of-way except where authorized by law. Signs must be placed on the property hosting the sale or on other private property with the owner's permission. Code enforcement routinely removes off-premises garage sale signs after weekends. Sign size, height, and visibility rules in the broader sign code still apply, and signs must not obstruct sight lines at intersections or driveways. Residents are responsible for taking signs down promptly when the sale ends.
Posting signs in the right-of-way, on utility poles, or on public property results in removal and possible citation. Failure to remove signs after the sale or repeated violations can lead to fines through Fulshear municipal court enforcement.
