Grand Prairie prohibits signs on utility poles, in public ROW, and at intersections. Garage sale signs must be on the seller's property or with private property owner permission. Code Compliance actively removes illegally placed signs.
Grand Prairie's Code Compliance division enforces sign regulations throughout the city. Signs placed at intersections, on utility poles, and in public rights-of-way are prohibited and removed regardless of content. Garage sale signs should be placed on the property where the sale is being held. Temporary directional signs on other private property require that property owner's permission. Garage sales themselves require a permit (Sec. 29-79) with no more than 2 sales per year, each up to 3 consecutive days. Signs advertising the sale should be removed promptly after the sale concludes.
Illegally placed signs removed by Code Compliance. Operating garage sale without permit: fine per Section 1-8.
