Camarillo allows residents to hold yard or garage sales without a paid permit but limits each property to two sales per calendar year and prohibits sale of new merchandise. Building & Safety publishes the rules and tracks compliance through code enforcement.
Per the City's published yard sale policy, residential properties may hold up to two yard/garage sales per calendar year. The sale must consist of used personal household items belonging to the household — new merchandise brought in specifically for resale is not allowed. The City does not charge a paid permit fee for routine residential yard sales, but operating outside the two-per-year limit or selling new merchandise converts the activity into an unlicensed commercial business under CMC Title 19 zoning and the City's business tax chapters.
Operating beyond two sales per year or selling new merchandise can trigger an administrative citation (typically $100 first offense) and an order to obtain a business tax certificate or cease operations.
