Anaheim garage sales under AMC 6.26 do not require a permit but must follow strict rules about timing, location, and merchandise. Sales are limited to four quarterly weekends per year during daylight hours only.
AMC Chapter 6.26 regulates garage and yard sales without requiring a formal permit. However, sales must comply with all regulations in Section 6.26.030. Sales are restricted to the quarterly schedule (first full weekend of March, June, September, December). Only used household goods owned by the resident may be sold. Items may not be displayed on fences, walls, or any surface facing neighboring property or public areas. The sale must be conducted on the premises where the seller resides. No commercial activity disguised as a garage sale is permitted. Sellers conducting frequent unlicensed commercial sales may be cited for operating a business without a license. The city encourages residents to use these quarterly dates for neighborhood-wide sales.
Non-compliant sale: code enforcement citation. Commercial sales disguised as garage sale: business license violation. Display on public property: removal order.
