San Diego County does not impose specific garage sale frequency limits for unincorporated areas. California CDTFA treats sellers holding more than two sales in 12 months as potentially requiring a seller's permit. Regular sales may suggest a home business subject to zoning rules.
The County does not have a specific ordinance limiting how many garage sales a resident can hold per year in unincorporated areas. However, California Board of Equalization (CDTFA) guidelines indicate that more than two sales in a 12-month period may no longer qualify as an occasional seller, potentially requiring a seller's permit and sales tax collection. Frequent or large-scale sales may also indicate home business activity, which is subject to the County's home occupation zoning requirements. Sales that generate regular traffic, customer flow, or operate on a schedule inconsistent with residential use may be reviewed by Code Compliance.
No County-specific frequency violation. CDTFA enforcement for seller's permit requirement. Excessive activity may trigger home occupation zoning review.
