Schaumburg FAQ
What happens if I hold three garage sales in one year?
Exceeding the two-sale annual limit may result in a code enforcement notice. Persistent violations could be treated as unauthorized commercial activity in a residential zone.
Do neighborhood-wide sales count toward my limit?
Yes. Your participation in a neighborhood-wide garage sale counts as one of your two permitted sales for the year.
Can I sell items online instead of having a garage sale?
Selling personal items online is generally not regulated by the Village. However, operating a regular online retail business from home would require a home occupation permit.
