Yonkers limits residential garage/yard sales to no more than 4 sales per calendar year per property, typically not exceeding 3 consecutive days each.
Yonkers Code restricts garage sales to prevent de facto retail operations in residential zones. Exceeding 4 sales per year or 3 consecutive days per sale is considered operating a retail business, which is not permitted in residential zones without rezoning. This frequency limits rule under Yonkers's garage sales ordinances applies to properties within Yonkers city limits. For current statutory text, amendments, enforcement procedures, fines, appeal options, and any exemptions that may apply to your situation, contact Yonkers code enforcement directly or consult the official New York municipal code library. Ordinances change periodically; always verify with local staff before relying on summary information.
