Provo limits residential garage sales to 3 per calendar year per property under §14.34.020. Orem caps at 4 sales per year per §14-8-5. Exceeding limits triggers home occupation zoning rules.
Provo Municipal Code §14.34.020(D) restricts casual garage and yard sales to three per calendar year, maximum 3 consecutive days each, to prevent residential conversion to retail use. Orem Code §14-8-5 permits four sales annually, maximum 2 consecutive days. Lindon §15-17 and Pleasant Grove §10-3 set similar 3 to 4 sale limits. Utah County unincorporated areas have no frequency limit under the Land Use Ordinance. Exceeding local limits triggers home occupation regulations under Provo §14.34 or Orem §22-7, requiring conditional use permit and often prohibiting outdoor display and customer traffic. Multi-family or neighborhood-wide sales count as one event per household. BYU-area R1LO zones in Provo enforce limits strictly due to historic retail-conversion concerns near campus. Church and charity sales are exempt as nonprofit activities under Utah Code §59-12-104(8).
Exceeding frequency (Provo §14.34.090): $100 to $500 per violation. Classified as illegal home occupation. Repeated violations: zoning enforcement action and mandatory cease-and-desist. Charitable sales: no limit if compliant with Utah Code §59-12-104(8).
