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

Sec. 15-74 gives a garage sale exactly one sign, capped at two square feet, and it has to sit on the sale property itself; the ordinance states flatly that signs at any other location are prohibited, with no exception carved out for directional signs at nearby intersections. That sign rule sits inside Article III alongside the permit system in Sec. 15-73, so a sign posted without a valid garage sale permit underlying it violates the article twice over. The article also bars auctioning items at the sale under Sec.

15-75, and requires an illegal sale, including one advertised by an oversized or misplaced sign, to be shut down within one hour of a violation notice under Sec. 15-76. Each additional hour the sale or its signage stays up past that one-hour window is a fresh offense under Sec. 15-78. Because a garage sale permit under Sec. 15-73 already requires posting the permit copy in a conspicuous place at the sale, code enforcement checking on sign compliance during a routine sweep can verify both the sign limit and the permit at the same stop.

The two-square-foot cap and single-sign limit have stood in the code since the 1974 ordinance that created the garage sale article and have not been amended since.
