Aurora City Code §46-451 limits garage sales to 3 per calendar year per household. Centennial and Littleton follow 3-4 per year standards. Unincorporated Arapahoe County has no specific frequency cap but repeated sales may trigger unlicensed retail classification. Each sale limited to 3 consecutive days.
Aurora City Code §46-451 establishes the most clearly-defined frequency limit in Arapahoe County: 3 garage sales per calendar year per household, each limited to 3 consecutive days. Centennial Municipal Code allows up to 4 sales per year with similar duration limits. Littleton and Englewood have 3-4 sale annual limits. Unincorporated Arapahoe County does not have a specific garage sale ordinance but zoning code prohibits ongoing commercial activity in residential zones—repeated sales (monthly or more frequent) may trigger home occupation or retail business classification. Neighborhood-wide or community sales (e.g., HOA-sponsored events) typically count as a single event for participants. Church and charity rummage sales follow separate nonprofit rules and often require Special Event Permits if held on public property. Residential storage unit sales, estate sales, and moving sales generally count toward the annual limit but some jurisdictions treat estate sales (by licensed estate sale companies) differently. HOAs frequently limit CC&R sales to 2 per year or designate neighborhood-wide sale days.
Exceeding frequency: $50 to $200 citation under Aurora §46-451. Repeated violations converting to commercial retail: $100 to $500 home occupation zoning violation plus potential sales tax penalties.
