Title 5 - Business Licenses and Regulations

5.44.030 Time Limit.

It is unlawful for any person to conduct a garage sale in violation of the length and separation requirements set forth in this ordinance. Each of the two garage sales permitted during a calendar year shall consist of not less than one day or portion thereof nor more than four consecutive days or portions thereof. For the purposes of this ordinance, a garage sale shall be considered to be conducted when either merchandise is offered or displayed for sale, or when any signs or other advertisements indicate it is being conducted, or both, and shall be considered concluded when there is an absence of said criteria and four consecutive days from its commencement have elapsed. When the first such sale in a calendar year is concluded, the second permitted garage sale may not commence until at least 30 clear days have elapsed from such conclusion. For example, a resident may hold a garage sale on any or all of the days between Wednesday and Saturday of the same week, but may not hold such a sale on a Wednesday and Sunday of the same week.
