3 rules for unincorporated Kings County, New York.
Verified from official government sources
NYC does not require a permit for occasional residential garage or stoop sales, provided the seller is not a regular merchant. Persons running ongoing sales need a DCWP General Vendor License or home-occupation compliance.
NYC does not set a specific numeric limit on garage/stoop sales per year, but regular or ongoing sales are considered commercial vending requiring a DCWP General Vendor License. A reasonable interpretation is a few per year.
NYC does not set specific garage sale hours, but NYC Noise Code §24-218 prohibits unreasonable noise. Practical daytime hours are 8 AM to 7 PM. Sales may not block sidewalks, and nighttime noise is restricted 10 PM–7 AM.
