Full Breakdown

Sec. 5.05.002(b) caps garage and occasional sales at three per year for the same owner or same property, with each sale running no longer than three consecutive calendar days. The limit prevents a residence from operating as an ongoing retail store. Only the owner's own tangible personal property may be sold; goods purchased with the sole intent of resale are prohibited under sec. 5.05.002(a). Sales by churches, charities, and fraternal organizations to raise funds are treated separately and may be held on other property using donated items. No permit is required, so the city tracks compliance through code enforcement complaints.

Violations & Fines

Holding more than three sales a year, running a sale beyond three consecutive days, or reselling purchased goods violates Article 5.05: a misdemeanor fined up to $500 under sec. 1.01.009, each day a separate offense.
