While Chandler does not publish a specific annual limit on garage sales, holding sales too frequently may be considered a commercial activity requiring a business license. The city's code enforcement generally views occasional sales as normal residential activity. Regular, ongoing sales from a home would be treated as a home-based business subject to zoning and licensing requirements.
Chandler restricts the number of garage and yard sales each household may hold per calendar year, typically 2 to 4 sales. Each sale is usually limited to 2 to 3 consecutive days. These limits prevent residential properties from operating as ongoing retail businesses. Multi-family or neighborhood-wide sales may be treated as a single event. Exceeding frequency limits may trigger home business regulations or zoning enforcement. Community or church sales may have separate rules.
Exceeding frequency: $50 to $200 citation. Operating as unlicensed retail: home business zoning violation $100 to $500.
