Baton Rouge has no local ordinance limiting how often residents may hold garage or yard sales. Louisiana Revised Statutes §1861 exempts residential garage sales from secondhand dealer registration requirements, leaving frequency unrestricted.
Neither the City of Baton Rouge/East Baton Rouge Parish Code of Ordinances nor the Unified Development Code imposes frequency limits, permit requirements, or day-count restrictions on residential garage sales or yard sales. Title 9, Chapter 19 of the Code of Ordinances governs secondhand dealers, but Louisiana RS §1861 explicitly exempts 'private residential sales commonly known as garage sales or yard sales as long as such sales take place at a residential address' from secondhand dealer rules. Residents may hold garage sales as frequently as desired. Standard zoning rules (no commercial signage violations, no obstruction of public rights-of-way) still apply. Individual HOAs may impose their own restrictions independently.
No violation structure under local ordinance. Standard sign ordinance or parking/ROW rules may apply if violated. HOA rules may impose private fines.
