Garage sale signs in Laredo must be posted on private property with the owners permission. Signs in public right-of-way, on utility poles, or on traffic control structures are prohibited and will be removed. Signs must be taken down within 24 hours of sale end.
Laredo permits temporary garage sale signage as part of allowed residential garage sale activity. Signs must be placed on private property with the consent of the property owner. Placement in public right-of-way (medians, parkways, shoulders), on utility poles, street signs, traffic signals, or other public infrastructure is prohibited and signs will be removed by Public Works or Code Enforcement without notice. Signs should be no larger than 6 square feet and removed within 24 hours after the sale concludes. Nailing or stapling signs to trees or utility poles can result in additional fines and potential civil liability for damage. Bandit signs (mass placement on street corners) are a frequent target of enforcement sweeps. Reusable A-frame or stake signs placed on private lawns are the compliant alternative.
Signs in right-of-way are summarily removed. Repeat offenders or commercial sign placers face fines up to $500 per sign under the Laredo sign ordinance.
