Violations & Fines
A first violation of the yard sale rules is an infraction punishable by a fine set by City Council resolution; second and third convictions within the same period draw additional fines, also set by resolution, per § 5.04.330(I). Because the section does not fix an infraction fine amount in the code itself, the general infraction schedule at § 1.36.020 applies as a backstop: up to $100 for a first conviction, $200 for a second, and $500 for a third or later conviction within one year.
