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

Section 11-368 covers signage for garage/occasional sales in two parts. Subsection (a) requires that 'all signs used to advertise the garage/occasional sale must comply with the sign ordinance requirements of the city', meaning garage-sale signs are not exempt from the citywide sign rules that govern placement, size, and duration for temporary signage generally. ' The word 'permitted' matters, signage authorized under this article only applies to a sale that already holds a valid permit from the building inspections department under § 11-367(a); a sale conducted without a permit has no lawful basis for signage under this article.

In practice, a resident who runs a Friday-through-Sunday sale needs the advertising signs down by midday Monday at the latest, twelve hours after the sale's stated end time. The removal duty falls on whoever posted the signs, typically the resident named on the permit under § 11-367(d), and applies regardless of how many signs were placed or where. Enforcement runs through the same code compliance channel that handles other unpermitted-sign violations citywide, since Article X does not create a separate signage enforcement mechanism.
