Keller, TX Sign Regulations: Garage Sale Signs (2026)

Temporary signs advertising garage and yard sales fall under Keller sign code temporary-sign provisions, which apply uniformly regardless of message under post-Reed v. Town of Gilbert content-neutral standards. Garage sale signs may be placed on the property holding the sale during the days of the sale, generally no more than a specified window before the first sale day and requiring removal within 24 hours after the sale ends. Sign size is limited to a few square feet, with no illumination permitted and placement entirely on private property out of the right of way.

Off-site signs posted at neighborhood entrances, major intersections, on utility poles, street signs, or in medians are prohibited under both the Keller sign code and Texas Transportation Code provisions that prohibit signs on public utility structures. Public works and code enforcement crews routinely remove prohibited right-of-way signs, particularly after weekends with high garage sale volume. Placing signs on public right of way can also create traffic hazards and damage landscaping. Residents may advertise through online platforms, community social media groups, and HOA bulletin boards to reach buyers without violating sign rules.

HOAs in Keller often add further restrictions, including requirements that any on-property signage follow uniform size and professional appearance standards. Repeated violations may result in code enforcement citations under the city penalty schedule.
