Amarillo does not require a permit for individual garage sales, but limits each property to no more than two garage sales per 12-month period. Exceeding this limit is a code violation enforced by the City Marshal.
Under Amarillo Code of Ordinances Chapter 10-3 (Miscellaneous Offenses), holding more than two garage sales at the same address within any 12-month rolling period constitutes a violation. No advance permit is required for one or two sales per year. Signs advertising garage sales must comply with Chapter 4-2 (Signs) — temporary off-premise signs are generally prohibited, and on-premise signs must be removed promptly after the sale ends. Violations are enforced by the City Marshal's Office. Texas Comptroller rules require sellers to collect and remit sales tax if total taxable sales exceed $3,000 statewide per year.
Holding more than two garage sales per 12-month period is a Class C misdemeanor subject to a fine up to $500; improper signage may result in separate citations under Chapter 4-2.
