Bellaire Citywide Garage Sale Scheduled For April 28

BELLAIRE, TX — Bellaire’s Annual City Wide Garage Sale will be held on Saturday, April 28, 2018. Permit requirements are waived for any Bellaire resident who wishes to hold a garage sale at their home — only on that day. This is convenient that garage and estate sales require an application process and a $15 fee for garage sales and $25 for estate sales, all of which are waived next Saturday. However, there are still some rules.

Residents will be responsible for their own individual advertising, and must follow the sign ordinance listed in Chapter 15, Section 5 of the City of Bellaire Code of Ordinances:

(a) No signs shall be allowed in public rights-of-way, attached to utility poles, trees, public buildings, or any street/traffic control signs.
(b) Signs shall be displayed no earlier than 5:00 a.m. on the first day of the event and must be removed by 8:00 p.m. of the final day of the event.
(c) For garage sales, a minimum of one of the provided signs must be displayed on the property where the sale is being held. The remaining two signs may be placed in a private yard with the permission of the property owner. Such permission will be presumed to be given by the property owner by the affixing of his signature to the sign that has been placed within the yard.
(d) For estate sales, the sign provided must be displayed on the property where the sale is being held.
(e) Signs found to be illegal or posted in violation of this chapter shall be impounded.

* Note: There is no rain out date for this event.*
