Miami limits the frequency of residential garage sales to prevent commercial operations in residential neighborhoods. Properties are generally limited to 2-3 sales per calendar year, each lasting a few days.
Residential properties are typically limited to 2-3 garage sales per calendar year, with each sale lasting 2-3 consecutive days. Sales exceeding these limits may be treated as commercial activity requiring proper zoning and business licensing. Community or neighborhood-wide sales may count differently. The city tracks complaints about excessive sales activity through Code Compliance.
Exceeding frequency limits may result in code compliance action. Persistent commercial-scale sales may be treated as an unpermitted business with fines and required cessation.
