Summary
Rockwall requires garage-sale signs to come down within 24 hours after the sale ends, under the city's garage sale ordinance.
Any person who shall conduct a sale regulated by this article and who uses signs to advertise such sale shall remove all signs used for such purpose within 24 hours after the recorded date ending such sale.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: Code of Ordinances: Supplement 25 Update 1).
Full Breakdown
If you put up signs to advertise a garage, rummage, or estate sale in Rockwall, city code makes you take them down within 24 hours after the sale's last recorded day. The rule sits inside the same garage-sale article that caps sales at three consecutive days and one per residential property every six months, so a sign that lingers past the 24-hour window is a separate violation from running the sale itself.
Violations & Fines
Leaving garage-sale signs up past 24 hours after the sale ends violates Sec. 12-24; the city can cite the responsible person under the general Code of Ordinances penalty provisions.
