Summary

Redondo Beach caps garage, patio, and similar sales of personal property in residential zones to one sale in any 12-month period, lasting no more than three consecutive days or two consecutive weekends of two days each, and requires the seller to file an affidavit with the License Department first.

In the event miscellaneous items of personal property are to be offered for sale to the general public by means of a garage sale, patio sale, or other sale similarly conducted, the person conducting such sale shall file an affidavit with the License Department stating that all the property to be sold is his own personal property and has not been acquired or consigned to him for the purposes of resale. Only one such sale may be conducted in any 12 month period and shall be limited to not more than three consecutive days or two consecutive weekends of two days each.

Full Breakdown

02 governs garage and similar sales that fall under Chapter 23's rules for selling personal property in residential zones. Before holding a garage sale, patio sale, or similarly conducted sale open to the general public, the person running it must file an affidavit with the License Department attesting that everything being sold is that person's own personal property, not merchandise acquired or consigned for resale. The section limits residents to only one such sale in any 12-month period, and caps its length at not more than three consecutive days, or alternatively two consecutive weekends of two days each.

01, the chapter's baseline rule that no one may sell or offer to sell personal property in a residential zone except property they or their family own and use on the premises, with one specific carve-out letting a vehicle offered for sale be displayed on a permanently constructed driveway within the front or side yard. 03 exempts sales of personal property conducted under a court order or legal process, such as an estate or bankruptcy sale, from the chapter's restrictions entirely. Together the three sections keep casual household sales occasional and personal rather than allowing a residential property to operate as a recurring open-air resale business, with the License Department serving as the point of filing and oversight for the required affidavit.

Violations & Fines

Holding more than one garage or patio sale in a 12-month period, running one longer than three consecutive days or two consecutive weekends of two days each, or selling merchandise acquired for resale rather than one's own personal property, violates § 4-23.02. The chapter's affidavit-filing requirement with the License Department is the city's primary compliance check before a sale can lawfully proceed in a residential zone.
