GARAGE SALE INFORMATION


The City of Rowlett Code Enforcement Division does not require a permit for garage sales or other occasional sales. There are regulations for signs designed to maintain the appearance of city streets and avoid traffic congestion in your neighborhood. We hope that this information assists you in having a successful sale. 

-  You are allowed to have up to three (3) sales in a twelve-month period. 

-  Sales should be limited to personal property.  No merchandise acquired solely for the purpose
   of resale is allowed.

-  Although the term "garage sale" is used, sales can also be held on the patio, driveway or in the
   front yard. 
 
-  Sales may last up to three (3) consecutive calendar days. 

-  You may place your garage sale signs on your property or other private property with the property
   owner's permission.

-  Public safety concerns and city ordinances prohibit placing signs on public property.  Public
   property includes street or road right-of-ways, which is normally the area between the street
   pavement and utility poles or between street pavement and fences. Signs are also prohibited in
   medians and on trees and utility poles. 

-  To reduce litter (and continued visitors after your sale has ended) please remove all signs within
   48 hours after the sale has ended.
