Full Breakdown
City code permits occasional and garage sales in residential zoning districts, capped at two sales per property owner per year and three consecutive days each. For signage, Temple limits a host to a single sign of no more than two square feet, and that sign must sit on the property where the sale is happening. Any sign placed at another location, a street corner, a neighbor's yard, a utility pole, is prohibited outright under this section, separate from the sale rules themselves.
Violations & Fines
Off-site or oversized signs violate Sec. 22-72; each day a violation continues is a separate offense under Sec. 22-75, enforced by code compliance.
