Tampa limits garage and yard sales to a specified number per year per property under Section 27-282.3. These limits distinguish personal sales from ongoing commercial activity in residential zones.
Tampa's zoning code limits the frequency of garage sales at residential properties. Sales exceeding the annual limit may be classified as commercial retail requiring a business tax receipt and proper zoning. Multi-household sales count toward each property's limit. The limits help maintain the residential character of neighborhoods.
Exceeding the annual limit transforms the activity into potential unlicensed commercial retail. Code enforcement may cite properties for excessive sales.
