Tinley Park limits household garage sales to a small number per year (typically 2-3) and restricts duration to approximately 3 consecutive days per sale. Exceeding these limits classifies the activity as commercial.
To prevent traffic, parking, and commercial-scale operations in residential neighborhoods, Tinley Park limits garage sales to a modest number per household per calendar year. Typical rules allow approximately 2-3 sales per year with each sale not exceeding about 3 consecutive days. Sales that exceed these limits — such as weekly or monthly sales, sales featuring newly purchased merchandise for resale, or sales operated by non-residents — are treated as commercial activity requiring a business license and zoning compliance. HOA communities and condominium associations may impose additional restrictions. Neighborhood-wide coordinated sales sponsored by subdivisions or civic groups may have special allowances if organized with Village coordination.
Exceeding frequency limits or commercial-scale operation: $100-$500 per day, plus cease-and-desist orders and potential zoning enforcement.
