No ROH section sets a numeric frequency cap on residential garage sales on Oahu; LUO 21-5.350 requires that sales remain occasional and accessory to residential use.
Honolulu does not set a specific numeric cap on how many garage sales a household can hold per year. Instead, frequency is bounded by the Land Use Ordinance test that the activity remain occasional and accessory to normal residential use under LUO 21-5.350. Recurring or continuous sales tip the activity into a regulated home occupation or retail use, triggering separate permit requirements. The standard applies islandwide across the City and County of Honolulu. Homeowners running frequent sales should evaluate whether the activity still qualifies as an accessory use.
Too-frequent sales may be treated as an unpermitted home occupation or retail use, inviting zoning enforcement.
