Austin doesn't require a permit for occasional residential yard sales. Keep signage off public right-of-way (no signs on utility poles or medians) and don't block the sidewalk or street.

What to do
No permit needed for occasional sales.
Put signs only on your own property — not poles or medians.
Don't run one every weekend or it looks like a retail business.
Donate the leftovers same-day so it doesn't linger.
