The City of Orange permits garage and yard sales on residential property under OMC provisions. Sales are limited in frequency and duration to prevent commercial use of residential property. Typical limits allow sales no more than a few times per year.
Under the City of Orange's garage sale provisions (Ordinance 17-84), garage and yard sales are permitted on residential property but are limited in frequency and duration to maintain the residential character of neighborhoods. Sales are generally limited to no more than 2 to 4 events per year per property, with each sale lasting no more than 2 to 3 consecutive days. Items sold must be personal property of the household, not goods purchased for resale. Sales must be conducted on private property and may not encroach on sidewalks, streets, or public rights-of-way. Signs advertising garage sales are subject to the city's temporary sign regulations.
Exceeding frequency limits or conducting sales that resemble commercial retail operations may result in code enforcement action and fines.
