Garage sales typically limited to 3-4 per household per year. Consecutive-day sales count as one event. Excessive sales may be classified as unlicensed retail business.
Snellville City Code regulates yard/garage/estate sales as accessory residential use. Common limit: 4 sales per calendar year per residence, each sale lasting up to 3 consecutive days. Exceeding this threshold reclassifies activity as retail business (requires commercial zoning + occupation tax certificate). Items sold must be household/personal property — not merchandise acquired for resale (that's a flea market). Estate sales following death/move are typically exempt from frequency limit.
5th+ sale: cease and desist; continued violation $100-$500 fine. Commercial reselling: business without license, $500+ fine.
