Shreveport caps garage, yard, estate, lawn, porch, patio, and rummage sales at three events per year per property, with a maximum of three days per event. The rule sits in the Unified Development Code, not the Municipal Code.
The Unified Development Code treats a residential garage sale as a temporary use. Section 6.2.G.8 allows the event in any residential zoning district with a permit, limits each address to three sale events in a year, and caps each event at three days. The occupant of the residence or the property owner must supervise the sale. The cap counts events by whatever name the seller uses, so calling it an estate sale or a rummage sale does not reset the count. Enforcement runs through the Zoning Administrator and the Metropolitan Planning Commission.
Zoning enforcement action through the Metropolitan Planning Commission; unpermitted temporary uses fall under the Code's general penalty, a fine up to $1,000.00 or 60 days.
