Neighborhood Garage Sale – Saturday, October 24
This is a good time to clean out unwanted items and have a garage sale when others in the neighborhood are having garage sales at the same time. Sometimes, neighbors will combine their sales together, which makes it a little more fun! Before that day, WHOA will put up a banner indicating the neighborhood garage sale is happening.
Each household is responsible for their own garage sale permit (which is required by the City of Plano, and it's FREE). CLICK HERE to apply for your garage sale permit. The City of Plano website contains information about holding a garage sale in Plano. We will post the neighborhood garage sale date on various websites that advertise garage sales. When you apply for a garage sale permit with City of Plano, your garage sale will be added to a map indicating homes that are having sales. No other advertising is needed! You keep all the dollars from things that you sell.
2026 Texas Recycles Day in Plano is on November 7, 8:30 am to noon in the Chase Oaks Church parking lot located at 281 Legacy Drive. This is a great way to donate items you didn't sell at your garage sale. For more information about what can be donated on Texas Recycles Day and other services, see https://www.plano.gov/texas-recycles-day.

TIPS:
Here are some tips that may help you get ready for a garage sale.
- Make an inventory list of what you want to sell
- Group items that can be put in a box and sold at a general price, like books or toys.
- Get price stickers (you can find these at an office supply store)
- Get or make signs – see the City of Plano website for rules about signs.
- Decide how you are going to display items – do you need tables? Will everything be on the driveway?
- Get cash for change: $1, $5, $10, and $20 bills, and maybe a roll of quarters.
- You may consider using a payment service like Venmo in addition to cash.
- Have shopping bags or cardboard boxes on hand to help people carry their goods

Whiffletree HOA Annual Dues
We are requesting payment of annual HOA dues for all who have not yet paid for 2026-2027. Good news – Whiffletree HOA annual dues are unchanged for the 4th year in a row and are the lowest of any nearby neighborhood. We now have 3 convenient ways to pay:
- By check for $145 payable to WHOA and mail to WHOA, PMB 288, 3948 Legacy Drive, Suite 106, Plano, TX 75023-8300.
- Pay securely online at https://mywhiffletreehoa.com/pay-dues via credit card or PayPal. Online payments are $150 due to additional expense to process online payments.
- We have added a 3rd secure method to pay dues via Zelle electronic payment: you can pay securely with Zelle by sending payment to w567hoa. Most banks currently provide the Zelle service. Since there are no fees on Zelle payments, the dues amount is $145 versus $150 for credit card payments.
