Plano regulates temporary signs including garage sale signs. Signs may be placed on private property but are prohibited in the public right-of-way, medians, utility poles, and traffic signs. Signs must be removed promptly after the sale. The city actively removes illegally posted signs from public property and may fine violators.
Temporary garage sale signs in Plano are allowed during the period of an active yard or garage sale. Signs placed on the seller's own property have few restrictions beyond size limits (typically 4–6 square feet). Off-site directional signs may be placed at intersections with property owner permission. Signs on public property, utility poles, traffic signs, medians, and in public rights-of-way are prohibited and will be removed by city crews. Signs must not obstruct pedestrian or vehicle sight lines. All signs must be removed within 24 hours after the sale ends. Professional-quality signs suggesting ongoing commercial activity may trigger home business enforcement. Sign stakes must not be placed where they could damage underground utilities — call 811 before placing signs.
Signs on public property/utility poles: removed without notice, $25–$50 fine per sign. Signs remaining after sale: $25 per day. Signs obstructing traffic sight lines: immediate removal and $75 fine.
