Lewisville allows garage sale signs on private property only. Signs in public rights-of-way are prohibited and must be removed within 24 hours after the sale.
Lewisville allows temporary garage sale signs on the property where the sale is conducted. Signs may also be placed on other private property with the owner's permission. Garage sale signs are prohibited on public rights-of-way, sidewalks, utility poles, traffic signs, median islands, and city property. Signs placed in prohibited locations may be removed by the city without notice. The Unified Development Code limits the frequency and duration of garage sales, typically allowing no more than four sales per property per year with a maximum duration of three consecutive days per sale. A permit may be required depending on the current ordinance. Garage sale signs should include the address and dates of the sale. Signs must be removed within 24 hours after the sale concludes. Signs cannot exceed typical temporary sign size limits, generally around 6 square feet. Banners, streamers, and balloons used to attract attention to garage sales must comply with the temporary sign provisions. Signs attached to trees, placed in storm drains, or obstructing visibility at intersections are prohibited. Code Enforcement at (972) 219-5030 handles sign complaints and can remove non-compliant signs from public areas.
Garage sale signs placed in public rights-of-way or on utility infrastructure may be removed immediately by the city. Failure to remove signs after the sale concludes is a code violation. Exceeding the permitted number of garage sales per year may result in a warning or citation. Fines up to $500 per offense may apply for repeat violations.
