Clearwater Community Development Code Section 3-2103 limits garage sales to two per property per calendar year, each lasting no more than three days, and prohibits consecutive occurrences.
CDC Sec. 3-2103 caps garage sales at two events per property per calendar year as an allowable temporary use. Each occurrence may last no more than three consecutive days, and individual occurrences cannot be back-to-back, ensuring that the sales remain temporary in nature and do not become ongoing retail operations. The two-per-year limit attaches to the property rather than the resident, so multiple roommates or households at the same address share the limit. Repeated or extended sales can be re-classified as a home occupation or unlicensed retail business, triggering separate code requirements.
Exceeding the two-per-year or three-day limits results in code compliance notices and daily fines until the sale ends; repeat offenders may face special magistrate hearings.
