Full Breakdown
Garage sales and residential boutique sales are permitted accessory uses in Roseville's residential districts, but § 1011.12(g)(2)a. caps them. A dwelling unit gets three sales each calendar year. No single sale can run more than three consecutive days, and the total cannot exceed nine days in duration per year. The maximum daily hours of operation are 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. A residential boutique sale also cannot occupy more than 400 square feet of a dwelling unit. The rule sits under the temporary uses and structures subsection, which requires the use to comply with the regulations of the zoning district and all other applicable provisions of the zoning title.
The definitions in section 1001.07 decide what counts. A garage sale, yard sale, attic sale, rummage sale, or moving sale is the sale of used household and personal items conducted on residential premises, where the property belongs to the occupant or friends of the occupant and the sale is run by them, not by an agent or anyone paid a commission, fee or salary. Items bought for resale or received on consignment for resale do not qualify. Except during the sales day and one day before and after for setup, items for sale must be stored within the garage or residence.
A residential boutique sale is the sale of handcrafted items made by the occupant or friends of the occupant. The items must be made in the home and not purchased for resale from any retail or wholesale business source or received on consignment.
Signs have their own limit in the sign chapter, section 1010.09: garage and yard sale signs can only be displayed during the term of the sale and must be removed when the sale is completed.
Violations & Fines
Under § 1002.02, violating any provision of the zoning title is a misdemeanor, and each day a violation continues is a separate offense. The general penalty in § 102.01(a) is a fine not to exceed $1,000.00, or imprisonment not to exceed 90 days, or both, plus costs of prosecution. A fourth sale in a calendar year, a sale running past 6:00 p.m., or a sale built on resale inventory falls outside § 1011.12(g)(2)a.
