Full Breakdown

Under City Code Section 11-243, a residential lot in the City of Kyle may hold no more than one continuous sale and one garage sale, or two garage sales, within any consecutive 12 calendar months. A garage sale cannot run within five days immediately before or after a continuous sale held on the same lot, and no single garage sale may last more than two consecutive days.
