Yard sales in unincorporated LA County are regulated under County Ordinance 22.140.620. Only secondhand household or personal items may be sold. Sale of new retail merchandise, food, or drinks is prohibited. Sales are limited in frequency to maintain residential character.
Yard sales in unincorporated LA County are regulated under Title 22 zoning provisions. While there is no specific countywide garage sale ordinance, sales are treated as a temporary accessory use of residential property. Excessive frequency (more than 2-3 sales per month) may be considered an unpermitted home business. Sales should be occasional and incidental to the residential use of the property. If sales become regular commercial activity, a business license and appropriate zoning approval may be required.
Frequent yard sales that constitute a commercial operation violate residential zoning under Title 22. Code enforcement may issue a notice of violation requiring the activity to cease. Continued violations can result in administrative fines of $100-$500 per occurrence. Operating a regular retail business from a residential property without a business license carries additional fines of $250+.
