Most Will County municipalities limit garage sales to 3 to 4 per household per year, with each sale up to 3 consecutive days. Plainfield and Bolingbrook cap at 3 sales; Joliet, Romeoville, and Frankfort allow 4.
Will County municipal frequency limits: Bolingbrook Code §9-4-6 caps residential garage sales at 3 per household per calendar year, 3 consecutive days each. Plainfield §9-2-10 allows 3 sales per address annually, 3 days each. Joliet §18-44 allows 4 sales per year up to 3 consecutive days. Romeoville §5-3-2 allows 4 sales per household annually. Frankfort §112.04 allows 4 sales per year. New Lenox and Mokena allow 4 sales annually. Lockport §10-24 allows 3 sales. Multi-family, subdivision-wide, and homeowner-association sales typically count as one event per participating household. Community sales hosted by churches, schools, or 501(c)(3) organizations follow separate fundraising rules. Exceeding frequency typically triggers home-business or zoning enforcement under the municipal zoning ordinance — unlicensed retail in a residential zone under 65 ILCS 5/11-13-1 enables municipal authority to shut down the operation.
Exceeding frequency: $50 to $200 per extra sale. Repeat violators (unlicensed retail): $100 to $500 zoning citation under 65 ILCS 5/11-13-1 plus cease-and-desist.
