Lee's Summit caps garage sales at four per household per year, each lasting no more than five days, and no more than 20 sale-days total in a calendar year.
Under Unified Development Ordinance Sec. 6.1570(F)(6), a residential garage sale may run up to five days per event, up to four times per year, not to exceed 20 days per year. No permit or registration is needed to hold sales within those limits. The caps keep residential properties from turning into ongoing retail operations; exceeding them can trigger zoning or business-licensing enforcement. Neighborhood-wide or subdivision sales are still counted against each participating household's annual allowance.
Holding more than four sales, or running past the 20-day annual cap, is a code violation subject to Property Maintenance Code fines of $50 to $500 per offense.
