Bernalillo County and Albuquerque impose no explicit numeric frequency limit on residential garage sales. Operating as ongoing retail triggers home-business and zoning enforcement under IDO §14-16-4-3. Courts treat sustained weekly sales as unlicensed commerce.
No specific numeric cap on garage sales per year exists in Bernalillo County or Albuquerque ordinance. Residents may hold multiple sales annually without triggering any permit. However, patterns of frequent or sustained sales — typically more than one per month or any weekly recurring sale — transition the activity into unlicensed retail business under ROA §13-1 and IDO §14-16-4-3 (Home Occupation rules). Home Occupations must be incidental to residential use, cannot generate significant traffic, and may not display merchandise externally. Flea-market-style operations are prohibited in residential zones. Code Enforcement (311) responds to neighbor complaints about chronic sale activity. Church, school, or neighborhood association-wide annual sales are a common exception and are treated as a single event.
Sustained commercial resale as garage sale: $100 to $500 zoning violation under IDO §14-16-6-9. Unlicensed home business: additional business tax enforcement. Chronic nuisance: escalating fines and potential cease-and-desist order.
