Duluth typically limits yard/garage sales to 2–4 per household per calendar year. Repeated sales become 'home business' and require zoning compliance.
The limit prevents unlicensed retail. HOAs in Duluth subdivisions (Sugarloaf, etc.) often set stricter rules, including community-sale-only dates. Duluth's Unified Development Code treats a residential address hosting weekly or bi-weekly sales as operating an unlicensed commercial business, which violates single-family zoning districts (R-100, R-85, R-75) and would require home-occupation approval plus an occupation tax certificate under Duluth Code Chapter 18. Sales tax obligations under O.C.G.A. §48-8-1 et seq. attach once the pattern becomes commercial — the Georgia Department of Revenue's casual-sale exemption does not shield repeated sellers. Code Enforcement typically warns first, then issues a citation; fines escalate for repeat offenders, and community-sale weekends (spring/fall) organized by HOAs are often exempted from counting against the per-household cap.
Code enforcement warning; unlicensed retail citation; fines up to $500/occurrence.
