City Council trims Baytown garage sale rules
Baytown City Council approved two amendments to the garage sale ordinance. The changes remove the $5 sign permit, keep a $5 garage sale permit, and require a $25 deposit for seven signs returned within 24 hours of the sale’s end. A single permit will cover community sales without listing each seller. The council had earlier passed a restrictive ordinance and is now in an education phase as enforcement is prepared.
