FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. Where can I place or post Garage Sale Signs?
The City of Eastland has installed two garage sale bulletin boards for public use for sales within Eastland County only (see maps above for sign locations). Signs for Eastland Sales are also allowed within the yard of the property hosting the sale and on other private properties with the owners permission. The City of Eastland has an Off-Premise Sign ordinance that disallows the posting or placing of signs on utility poles, trees, rocks, boxes or other such objects within city easements, adjacent to our streets and at street intersections, etc.
2. Why is the City of Eastland offering these posting options?
The City does not want to discourage Garage Sales, and wants to prevent ordinance violations by giving the public a convenient place to advertise and to legally place Garage Sale signage. It is our hope, that with a little time, the online listings and the two bulletin boards will become “the” places for advertising and a reference point for those who enjoy attending Garage Sales within the City of Eastland.
3. Do I need a Garage Sale Permit to hold a Sale within the City of Eastland?
At this time no permit is required.
4. What other City Ordinances are there in regard to Garage Sales?
