Signs bring shoppers, but a sign in the wrong place can be removed before the sale opens. Georgetown publishes plain guidance for garage and yard-sale signs. Use it as your starting point, then check your neighborhood’s rules.
What the city’s guidance says
The City of Georgetown’s guidance, updated March 2026, says:
- qualifying sale signs may be up to four square feet
- signs may go on nearby private property with the owner’s permission
- signs may not go in the public right of way, which includes medians and the strip along the street
Read it yourself: City of Georgetown, garage sale signs.
This guidance covers garage and yard sales. It doesn’t confirm whether a professionally run estate sale needs anything more, so ask your estate sale company what they check for your address.
Your neighborhood may be stricter
Many Georgetown subdivisions have HOA rules on signs, street parking and how often sales can happen. Ask your HOA before you book a date.
Sun City is different. Inside Sun City Texas, the community requires written approval for estate and moving sales, and limits signs and how the address is shared. See the Sun City guide for details.
Questions for your company
- Who places and removes the signs, and when?
- Will you ask neighbors before putting signs on their property?
- How will shoppers park without blocking driveways?
- Have you run sales in this neighborhood before?
