If members of more than one residence join in requesting a permit, such permit shall be deemed issued for each and all such residences. No permit shall be transferable to another person or premises.

Violations & Fines

Violating any provision of Chapter 5.44, including exceeding the three-permits-per-year cap or the duration limits, is an infraction under § 5.44.110. Under § 5.44.070, the city may deny or revoke a permit for false, misleading, or fraudulent statements in the application, and anyone convicted of a chapter violation loses any existing permit and is barred from getting another for two years from the conviction date.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many garage sales can I hold per year in Corona?
No more than three permits may be issued to one applicant or residence during any calendar year under § 5.44.060(B). If more than one residence joins in requesting a single permit, that permit counts against each joining residence's annual total, and permits cannot be transferred to another person or address.
How long can a Corona garage sale run?
Section 5.44.090 limits each sale to daylight hours only, spanning no more than three consecutive days or two consecutive weekends (Saturdays and Sundays). All items placed in public view for the sale must be removed once the sale ends.
Do I need a permit before holding a garage sale in Corona?
Yes. Section 5.44.040 makes it unlawful to conduct a garage sale without first obtaining a city permit, and § 5.44.080 requires the valid permit to be posted where it is visible from the nearest public street for the entire sale.
What happens if I lie on my Corona garage sale permit application?
Under § 5.44.070, the city can deny or revoke the permit for any false, misleading, or fraudulent statement, and a conviction under the chapter cancels any existing permit and blocks a new one for two years from the conviction.
