Pasadena's ordinances limit the frequency of garage sales to prevent excessive commercial-like activity at residential properties. The city allows reasonable use but prohibits turning residential property into an ongoing sales operation. Code Enforcement monitors compliance.
The City of Pasadena permits garage and yard sales but establishes limits to prevent excessive numbers at any one property. Properties conducting sales so frequently that they resemble commercial operations may receive Code Enforcement action. The city's approach balances allowing reasonable personal property sales while maintaining neighborhood residential character. Subdivision deed restrictions may impose additional frequency limits, commonly 2-4 sales per year. Continuous or weekly sales operations would likely trigger business licensing requirements.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Pasadena code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
