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

City Code § 11-13(b)(7) exempts garage sale signs from the requirement to obtain a sign permit, but only under tight conditions: only one sign is allowed on the property where the sale is taking place, and that sign may not exceed two square feet. Garage sale signs placed at any location remote from the sale site, such as at a neighborhood entrance or intersection pointing shoppers toward the sale, are expressly prohibited. ' The exemption sits inside Article XII of Chapter 11 (Permissible Signs That Do Not Require a Permit), alongside other narrow no-permit categories like real estate signs (six square feet or less) and customary identification signs (three square feet or less).

Under § 11-13(b), all exempt signs, garage sale signs included, must still comply with every other provision of the sign chapter and cannot be installed in a way that creates a safety hazard; the permit exemption relieves paperwork, not the underlying placement and maintenance rules.
