What are yard signs made of, and what do they cost?

Most yard signs are printed on 4mm corrugated plastic, a twin-wall polypropylene sheet about 0.157 inches thick, then finished with weather, fade, and abrasion resistant UV ink, according to Signs.com. That fluted core is what keeps the sign light enough to stake by hand yet rigid enough to stand up to wind.
At Houston Sign Company, a custom coroplast yard sign starts at about $33, printed in full color. You can upload a print-ready file or build a layout in the online Designer Studio, then choose single or double sided printing and a square or contour cut. Wire stakes and grommets are available as add-ons, which matters because how you mount a sign changes how long it lasts. Price drops per unit as your quantity goes up, so a single open-house sign and a run of several hundred campaign signs are both practical orders.

Where can you legally place a yard sign in League City?
League City sets clear limits, and knowing them protects your investment. Under the city’s Unified Development Code, political signs are “allowed without a permit, fee, or approval of the City, but only on private property and with the consent of the property owner,” and “no political sign may exceed 36 square feet in area or 8 feet in height,” per Article 8 of the League City sign code. Those signs also cannot be illuminated, have moving parts, or sit inside a dedicated municipal easement.
Two rules trip people up most. First, private property only means you need the owner’s permission, so a sign in a road median, an esplanade, or the strip between the curb and sidewalk is not allowed. Second, the same ordinance prohibits signs affixed to utility poles, trees, or other signs. Most permanent business signs in League City do require a city permit, but a temporary yard sign on private property with consent generally does not. For a fuller walkthrough of legal placement in the region, see our guide to where you can legally place yard signs.
How long do yard signs last in League City’s Gulf Coast weather?
Coroplast signs printed with UV ink last two or more years outdoors with proper placement and care, based on Signs.com’s durability guidance. League City’s own code echoes the standard, requiring that “all signs shall be constructed from materials designed to withstand the outdoor elements.”
Local conditions do push toward the shorter end of that range. Summer heat, intense sun, salt air off Galveston Bay, and hurricane-season storms are harder on a sign than a mild climate is. A few habits stretch the life of a sign here: order double sided printing so the graphic faces traffic from both directions, use sturdy wire H-stakes driven fully into firm ground, and bring signs in ahead of a named storm. If you want the full breakdown of what to expect in this climate, read how long coroplast signs last outdoors in Texas and our comparison of H-stakes versus A-frames.
What size and style should you choose?
The right size depends on how far away people read the sign and how much you need to say. A rider or directional sign can be small, while a listing or campaign sign along a busy road needs to be large enough to read at 35 miles per hour. Houston Sign Company stocks a wide range of standard sizes, all well within League City’s 36 square foot cap for political signs.
| Size (inches) | Common use | Sides |
|---|---|---|
| 12 x 9 | Directional, rider, and info signs | Single or double |
| 18 x 12 | Small yard and event signs | Single or double |
| 18 x 24 | Real estate and campaign standard | Double |
| 24 x 18 | High-visibility yard signs | Double |
| 24 x 24 | Bold announcements and open houses | Double |
| 48 x 48 | Large-format promotions | Single or double |
Double sided printing is worth the small upcharge on any sign that passing traffic sees from two directions. If you are weighing molded lawn letters against a printed panel for an announcement, our post on yard letters versus yard signs explains when each format wins.
Yard signs for real estate, events, and campaigns in League City
League City is home to more than 116,000 residents as of 2024, according to U.S. Census Bureau figures, and it keeps growing. That steady growth means an active housing market, a full calendar of school and community events, and competitive local races, all of which run on yard signs.
Real estate agents lean on them hardest. A clean listing sign, open-house directional signs, and rider add-ons turn a quiet street into foot traffic, and our open-house yard sign kit for Houston-area realtors shows how a coordinated set performs. Event planners use the same coroplast for parking, wayfinding, sponsor recognition, and check-in signage. Candidates and committees rely on volume runs where a consistent design has to look sharp from a car window. For political and campaign work, order from the dedicated campaign sign product, which is built for fast, high-quantity turnaround.
How to design a yard sign people actually read
A yard sign has about two seconds to land its message on a moving driver, so simple beats clever. Lead with one bold headline, keep the word count low, and use high contrast between the text and background so it reads in bright Texas sun. Make the most important element, a name, an address, or a call to action, the largest thing on the sign.
A few practical rules: put your phone number or web address in a size that is still legible from the curb, avoid thin fonts and busy photos, and give the layout generous margins so nothing gets lost near the edge. The online Designer Studio makes it easy to test a layout before you print, and our team reviews every file for print quality. When your artwork is ready, you can move straight to a yard sign order.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for a yard sign in League City?
For a political sign on private property with the owner’s consent, no. League City’s sign code allows those signs without a permit, fee, or city approval, as long as they stay within 36 square feet and 8 feet tall. Most permanent business signs do require a city permit, so check the ordinance or ask us if you are unsure.
How much do yard signs cost in League City?
Custom coroplast yard signs start at about $33 per sign at Houston Sign Company, printed in full color. The per-sign price drops as your quantity rises, so larger orders for events or campaigns cost less each.
How big can a yard sign be in League City?
Political signs may not exceed 36 square feet in area or 8 feet in height under the city code. Most yard signs are far smaller, with 18 by 24 inches being a common real estate and campaign size.
How long will a coroplast sign last outside here?
Two or more years is realistic with UV ink and good placement, though League City’s heat, sun, and storm season can shorten that. Double sided printing and sturdy stakes help, and pulling signs before a major storm protects them.
Can I put a yard sign in the median or right-of-way?
No. League City limits these signs to private property with the owner’s permission, and the code specifically prohibits signs on utility poles, trees, medians, and other signs. Placing one in the right-of-way risks removal.
Yard signs remain one of the most cost-effective ways to reach your neighbors in League City, whether you are selling a home, promoting an event, or running for office. Design it clearly, place it legally, and print it on material built for the Gulf Coast. When you are ready, order yard signs online or call Houston Sign Company at 713-662-3123.
