Apopka does not require a permit for occasional residential garage sales but limits frequency (typically 3 per year) and duration (3 consecutive days). Commercial-scale sales require a Business Tax Receipt.
Apopka Code regulates residential garage, yard, and estate sales without requiring an individual permit for occasional sales. Residents may hold up to 3 sales per calendar year per address, each lasting no more than 3 consecutive days. Sales must occur during daytime hours (typically 7 AM to dusk) on the seller own property. Only personal household items may be offered; no new merchandise or goods acquired for resale.
