Lubbock County cannot zone signs. The City of Lubbock classifies garage-sale signs as incidental signs, which are allowed on private property and may carry any message. Signs may not be placed on public property or in the public right-of-way.
Signage in unincorporated Lubbock County is unzoned because a Texas county has no zoning authority. Within the City of Lubbock, garage-sale signs fall under the incidental-sign rules of the Unified Development Code sign division (Chapter 39). An incidental sign is normally incidental to the allowed use of private property and may contain any message; customary examples the code lists include directional signs, real estate signs, garage sale signs, and noncommercial opinion signs. These signs are permitted on private property, but the city bars placing signs on public property such as parks or within the public right-of-way, which is where staked garage-sale signs are most often removed. Other cities in the county set their own temporary-sign rules, so check the applicable
Garage-sale signs staked in the public right-of-way, on medians, or on public property may be removed by the City of Lubbock; repeat placement is subject to code enforcement.
