Oceanside regulates garage sales to prevent commercial activity in residential zones. Garage sales are limited in frequency per year. Sales that exceed limits or appear to be commercial operations may be cited by code enforcement.
Oceanside limits the number of garage sales a household may hold per year to prevent residential properties from being used for ongoing commercial activity. Standard garage sale regulations typically allow a limited number of sales per year. Sales must be conducted on the resident's own property. Items sold should be personal property, not purchased inventory for resale. Signage for garage sales must comply with city sign regulations. Signs must be removed promptly after the sale. Garage sales that become regular commercial operations or attract excessive traffic may be cited as violations of the residential zoning code. The Code Enforcement Division responds to complaints about garage sales at (760) 435-4500.
Exceeding the annual garage sale limit or operating what appears to be a commercial retail business from a residence may result in code enforcement action.
