DeKalb County limits residential garage sales to a handful per year per address (typically 3 to 4) to prevent residences operating as ongoing retail in residential zones.
DeKalb County zoning treats frequent yard sales as a de facto retail operation, which is not allowed in residential districts. The Code of Ordinances limits typical residential garage/yard sales to roughly 3 to 4 events per calendar year per address, each event up to 2 to 3 consecutive days. Neighborhood-wide or HOA-sponsored sales count as a single event for participating addresses. Exceeding these limits can trigger a zoning enforcement action for unlicensed home-based retail. Estate sales run by professional companies often require additional business license compliance.
Exceeding frequency: $100 to $500 and zoning-enforcement letter. Operating as unlicensed retail business: $100 to $1,000 plus order to cease.
