Miami Beach limits garage sales to one per residential property per 12-month period. Each sale may last a maximum of two consecutive days. Exceeding the frequency limit or conducting sales without a permit constitutes a code violation. This is stricter than neighboring Miami-Dade County's two-per-year allowance.
Miami Beach restricts the frequency of garage sales to one sale per residential property within any rolling 12-month period. Each permitted sale may run for a maximum of two consecutive days. This limit applies per property address, not per resident — multiple household members cannot each hold separate sales at the same address. The city tracks permits by address to enforce the annual limit. The one-sale-per-year restriction is more stringent than unincorporated Miami-Dade County, which allows two garage sales per year without a permit. Exceeding the frequency limit suggests commercial activity, which is prohibited in residential zones under the city's zoning code. Residents who need to dispose of large quantities of household goods are encouraged to use the city's bulk waste pickup service (six free pickups per year) or donate to charitable organizations. Contact the Finance Department for permit records and Code Compliance at (305) 673-7555 for enforcement questions.
Holding more than one garage sale per year at the same address violates the permit ordinance. Frequent sales may be treated as illegal commercial activity in a residential zone, subject to zoning enforcement. Code Compliance issues citations for unpermitted sales at (305) 673-7555.
