Summary
A Daytona Beach residence, family or household can pull no more than three garage sale permits in a calendar year, and each permit only covers daylight hours over three days or two consecutive weekends.
No garage sale may be conducted within the city without a permit having been first issued for such sale by the permit and licensing division. Such permit shall set forth and restrict the time and location of the garage sale. There shall be an administrative processing fee, on file in the city clerk's office, for the issuance of the permit. No more than three such permits may be issued to one residence and/or family or household during any calendar year. The permit shall be limited in time to no more than the daylight hours of three days or two consecutive weekends (Saturday and Sunday).
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: Code of Ordinances: Supplement 78 | Land Development Code: Supplement 36).
Full Breakdown
Sec. " The same section limits each individual sale's duration, capping it at "no more than the daylight hours of three days or two consecutive weekends (Saturday and Sunday)," so a household cannot stretch one sale into an open-ended event or run daily sales for a month. An administrative processing fee applies each time a permit is issued, kept on file with the city clerk's office. Before the permit and licensing division will issue that permit, Sec. 74-127 requires the seller to file a written statement covering their interest in the property, ownership of the goods being sold, how those goods were previously used, and an affirmative statement that nothing was acquired or consigned specifically for resale, which keeps the process limited to genuine household sales rather than repeat commercial vending dressed up as a yard sale.
Sec. 74-128 then requires the issued permit to be prominently displayed at the sale itself, giving code enforcement a visible way to confirm a sale is within its permitted count and dates. Garage sales otherwise must comply with the city's business tax regulations under chapter 90, article V, except that Sec. 74-93 specifically excuses a compliant garage sale from having to pay a local business tax.
Violations & Fines
Conducting, aiding, or hosting a garage sale that exceeds the three-permits-per-year cap, runs past its permitted days, or lacks the required permit or written statement violates chapter 74 and is punishable under the general penalty in Sec. 1-14: up to a $500.00 fine and/or up to 60 days imprisonment, with each day of noncompliance a separate offense. Sec. 74-94 holds both the person conducting the sale and the property owner or controller liable.
