Full Breakdown

28 of the Eastvale Municipal Code, adopted by Ordinance No. 010 to include yard sales, home sales, patio sales, or any similar sale of personal property on residentially used or occupied property. 020 makes it unlawful to sell, offer for sale, or assist in selling personal property to the public at a garage sale except as the chapter permits. 040: no person, firm, association, or corporation may conduct more than three garage sales during any 12 consecutive months, and no more than three garage sales may be held on any single lot or parcel during that same 12-month window.

m. 030 exempts sales by charitable or religious organizations using proceeds solely for charitable or religious purposes, court-ordered sales, and sales not held on a set date with property not openly displayed to the public. 050 requires that all property offered for sale be arranged so fire, police, health, and other officials can inspect the sale at any time, and bars displaying or storing sale merchandise on adjoining public sidewalks, streets, or rights-of-way.

Violations & Fines

Violating any provision of Chapter 6.28, including the three-sale annual cap, the three-day duration limit, or the nighttime hours ban, is a misdemeanor under Section 6.28.070, punishable by a fine of up to $1,000.00, up to six months in county jail, or both.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many garage sales can I hold at my Eastvale home each year?
No more than three in any 12 consecutive months, and the same three-sale cap also applies to the lot itself, so a rotating cast of sellers at one address still cannot exceed three sales per year. Each sale is capped at three consecutive days under Section 6.28.040 of the Municipal Code.
What hours can an Eastvale garage sale run?
Section 6.28.040 bars garage sales between 8:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m., so a sale can only operate during daytime hours. There is no minimum start time specified beyond that window, but the sale still cannot exceed three consecutive days regardless of the hours kept each day.
Are charity rummage sales exempt from Eastvale's garage sale rules?
Yes. Section 6.28.030 exempts sales by charitable or religious organizations when proceeds are used solely for charitable or religious purposes, along with court-ordered sales and sales not held on an advertised date with goods not openly displayed. Those exempt sales do not count against the three-sale annual cap.
