If you put a sign in the City
right-of- way advertising your garage sale this weekend you run the risk of at least having the sign removed by a police
officer, code enforcement officer or other City employee and possibly a fine. It is illegal to erect or affix a sign in
the right-of-way (the area from the curb to the sidewalk,) in the median (the area that is in the middle of any street,)
on trees, public fences, buildings or utility/telephone poles. The recent emphasis on enforcing the sign ordinance is the
result of information gained from a citizen survey that indicated Buda residents’ desire to clear the signs from streets.
The city sign ordinance does allow residents who have a garage sale permit to place one sign in their front yard advertising
the sale. The only allowable signs are those for elections and housing developments. However, election signs must be placed
off the right-of way and housing signs need a City-issued permit.
