Garage-sale signs face no county rule on your own property in unincorporated Williamson County — the county has no sign ordinance. But Transportation Code §393.002 makes it illegal to plant a sign in a public road right-of-way, which covers most roadside placements.
The county does not regulate garage-sale or yard-sale signs on private property, so an owner may post one in their own yard freely. The catch is placement off your land: §393.002 prohibits putting any sign in the right-of-way of a public road unless state law authorizes it, which covers the strip along most county and state roads where people stake sale signs. TxDOT and county crews can remove signs from the right-of-way. Inside a subdivision, the property owners' association's deed restrictions control temporary signs and often limit sale signs to the day of the event. There is no county permit for a garage-sale sign placed on your own property.
Signs placed in a public road right-of-way violate §393.002 and are subject to removal, with fines reaching $500 under the chapter. HOA sign violations draw the covenant fines set by the association.
