Full Breakdown
A residential sale, garage, yard, porch, patio or similar, needs a permit from the city clerk under Code § 32-77, capped at three consecutive days per § 32-80(a), and no more than twice per calendar year per § 32-72. The $10 permit fee includes three city-issued signs (§ 32-78), which must come down within 24 hours of the sale ending and can't stand within 12 feet of the curb line (§ 32-73). Applicants must swear that the goods being sold are owned by the participants, not bought for resale (§ 32-79). The city's own first-full-weekend-in-June city-wide garage sale is exempt from the twice-a-year cap if the seller registers with the city (§ 32-76).
Violations & Fines
Each date a sale runs without a permit or beyond these limits is a separate offense (§ 32-75). The city clerk can also revoke a permit or refuse to issue a new one for two years after a conviction under this article (§ 32-81).
