Summary
A Satellite Beach household can hold only three garage sales a year. City Code § 30-618 caps each sale at three consecutive daylight days, and merchandise can be displayed only inside the residence, in the garage, or in the front yard, never the side or rear yard.
(a)Frequency and hours of operation.

Personal property offered for sale may be displayed only within a residence, in a garage, and/or front yard.

A vehicle offered for sale may be displayed on a permanently constructed driveway within such front or side yards.
Full Breakdown
Sec. 30-618 sets the frequency and format for garage sales citywide. A property is limited to no more than three sales in a one-year period, and each sale can run no longer than three consecutive days, during daylight hours only. Personal property for sale can be displayed inside the residence, in a garage, or in the front yard; the Code bars any display in a side or rear yard or in a public right-of-way, though a vehicle offered for sale may sit on a permanently constructed driveway within the front or side yard.
The owner or tenant running the sale must keep parking arranged so it does not create a hazard or block street traffic, and stays responsible for keeping good order and decorum on the premises, with no loud or boisterous conduct allowed. Sec. 30-618 also exempts a few categories from the frequency and display limits entirely: sales ordered by a court, sales conducted by a public official carrying out official duties, and sales run by a bona fide charitable, educational, cultural or governmental organization whose proceeds go directly to that organization's own purposes rather than to a private consignor.
Violations & Fines
Sec. 30-618 sets no separate fine, so exceeding three sales a year, running a sale past three days, or displaying items in a side or rear yard falls under the Code's general penalty in § 1-13: up to $500.00, up to 60 days in jail, or both, with each day of a continuing violation treated as a separate offense.
