Frequency Limits: Antioch vs Brentwood

Antioch typically limits residential garage sales to a few per household per year (commonly 2–4 sales of 2–3 days each) to distinguish them from unlicensed retail businesses. Exceeding this threshold requires a business license and may trigger zoning enforcement.

Brentwood limits residential garage sales to a small number per year (commonly three or four) of a limited duration each (often two or three consecutive days). Sales exceeding these limits are treated as a business and require a license. The limit helps preserve neighborhood character and prevent unpermitted retail.
