Full Breakdown
Greeley Municipal Code § 8-140 defines a garage or yard sale as occurring no more than two times during a calendar year, for no more than three consecutive days each time, within any consecutive 12-month period. Section 24-403.j(2)(c) mirrors this cap as a permit exemption: a residential garage sale run by the property owner or resident, selling goods not acquired for resale, and limited to no more than three consecutive days and two events per calendar year, does not need a temporary use permit. Garage and yard sales are also expressly excluded from the outdoor vendor license requirement in § 8-141.
Violations & Fines
A garage sale exceeding two events a year or three consecutive days loses its permit exemption under § 24-403.j(2)(c) and must obtain a temporary use permit like any other temporary use.
