Garage sale signs are regulated under Chapter 86. Signs are prohibited on public property and must be removed promptly after the sale ends.
Garage sale signs in Little Elm are specifically defined and regulated under Chapter 86 of the Code of Ordinances. A garage sale sign is a sign, typically a stake sign, used for garage, yard, estate, or other types of residential sale of used tangible personal property such as clothing, household effects, tools, garden implements, toys, recreation equipment, or other secondhand items customarily found in and about the home. The town definition references signs issued by the town for this purpose. Signs advertising garage sales must not be placed in public rights-of-way, on utility poles, traffic control devices, medians, or town property. Signs must not create traffic safety hazards or obstruct visibility at intersections. Garage sale signs should be placed only during the period of the sale and removed promptly after the sale ends. Leaving signs posted after the sale concludes is a code violation and the town may remove non-compliant signs. Little Elm may also regulate the frequency and duration of garage sales through its general zoning and business licensing provisions. Residents in HOA communities should check their CC&Rs for additional restrictions on garage sales and signage.
