The City of Joliet limits residential garage sales to no more than 2 per calendar year, with each sale lasting up to 4 consecutive days. The total number of sale days at a given property cannot exceed 8 days per calendar year. A permit is required from the Customer Service Office for each sale.
Joliet's garage sale ordinance establishes clear frequency limits to maintain residential neighborhood character. Residents may hold no more than two (2) garage sales per calendar year at any single property. Each sale may last a maximum of four (4) consecutive days. The combined total of sale days at a property cannot exceed eight (8) days in a calendar year (for example, two 4-day sales). A garage sale permit must be purchased from the Customer Service Office at Joliet City Hall before the sale takes place. Individual permits cost $6 and community event permits cost $30. Sales must be conducted between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM. All items must be displayed on the property, not on sidewalks or in the public right-of-way. Unsold items must be removed from display promptly after the sale concludes.
Exceeding the frequency limits, operating without a permit, or conducting sales outside permitted hours may result in code enforcement citations and fines.
