Unincorporated Bell County does not regulate garage-sale signs. Inside Killeen or Temple, temporary garage-sale signs are governed by the city sign code (Killeen Chapter 31, Division 4)—typically limited in size and duration, kept out of the public right-of-way, and removed after the sale.
Bell County has no sign ordinance in unincorporated areas, so garage-sale signs there are unregulated—except that placing signs in the state highway right-of-way violates TxDOT rules. Inside a city, the municipal sign code controls. Killeen regulates signs under Chapter 31, Article V, Division 4; temporary and garage-sale signs are typically allowed for a limited period but may not be placed on utility poles, in medians, or in the public right-of-way, and must be removed promptly. Unlike political signs, garage-sale signs get no special state protection, so a city may require they be small, temporary and off public property. Check Killeen's sign rules before posting.
Killeen code enforcement removes signs illegally placed in the right-of-way or on public poles and may fine repeat offenders. Signs in the state right-of-way can be removed by TxDOT.
