Coral Gables limits garage sales to no more than two per property per calendar year. Only one garage sale is permitted within any 30-day period. Each sale may run for a maximum of two consecutive days. These limits are strictly enforced through the permit system.
The Coral Gables Code of Ordinances limits the frequency of garage sales to protect the residential character of neighborhoods. No more than two garage sales or auctions may be held from the same property within any calendar year. Within any 30-day period, only one garage sale or auction is permitted, and each sale is limited to a maximum of two consecutive days. These limits apply per property address regardless of changes in ownership or tenancy during the calendar year. The permit system enforces these limits — applications exceeding the allowed frequency will be denied. Estate sales following a death or property sale may have different provisions. Multi-family properties and HOA-organized community sales may require separate arrangements. The frequency limits reflect Coral Gables' emphasis on maintaining its residential aesthetic — commercial-level selling activity from homes is prohibited. Contact Code Enforcement at (305) 460-5216 for questions about frequency limits.
Exceeding the two-sale-per-year limit or holding more than one sale within 30 days is a code violation. Operating beyond the two-consecutive-day limit per sale results in citations. Holding sales without permits to circumvent frequency tracking carries additional penalties. Repeat violations may result in escalating fines.
