Littleton, CO Garage & Yard Sales: Frequency, Duration & Permits (2026)

Table 10-1-1.8.1, Permitted Temporary Uses, Frequencies, and Duration, lists Garage/Yard/Estate Sale with a Duration entry of "3 / 3," which the table's own note explains means "the maximum number of days permitted per event and the maximum number of events permitted on a single lot in a calendar year." The table marks the use as a Temporary Permitted Use (TP), approvable by the Director without a Conditional Use hearing, in the NB districts (ACR, LLR, MLR, SLR, MFR) and in the DMU and DMS districts, but prohibited in DTA, BC and IP.

The specific standards for the sale itself sit at Subsection 10-1-1.8.G, item 5: no sale may begin earlier than the sixth day following the end of a prior sale on the same property, sales cannot be used to operate a business out of the home, activity is limited to the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and no sale activity may spill onto public sidewalks, parkways, streets or alleys. Because the use is a Temporary Permitted Use rather than a by-right activity, it is also subject to the general temporary-use standards in Section 10-1-1.8.E, including a minimum five-foot setback from the lot line and from public rights-of-way and compliance with the applicable district's height limits for any temporary structure or signage used for the sale.
