Parma residents are limited to three garage sale permits per calendar year, each valid for three consecutive days. Permits are issued through the City's online CitizenServe portal at no fee.
The City of Parma Safety Department administers garage sale permits. A resident may obtain up to three permits annually, with each permit covering three consecutive days. Sundays are prohibited under the permit terms. The annual City-Wide Garage Sale (typically held in June) is a separate City-sponsored event and does not count against an individual's three-permit cap. Permits must be applied for online via the CitizenServe permit portal before the sale begins.
Operating a garage sale without a required permit is a minor misdemeanor under the Parma general code-violation penalty structure (698.02), with continuing violations treated as separate offenses each day.
