Coral Gables requires a permit for all garage sales. The Garage Sale Permit Application must be obtained from the city before conducting any residential sale. Code Enforcement Officers may enter the property during the sale to verify compliance. The city's strict residential character standards apply to all garage sale operations.
Coral Gables requires all residents to obtain a Garage Sale Permit before holding a garage sale, yard sale, or estate sale. The permit application is available through the city and must be completed and approved prior to the sale date. Code Enforcement Officers of the City of Coral Gables may enter upon the property during the sale for the purpose of determining that the sale is being conducted in accordance with the Code of Ordinances. Sales must be conducted on the property and cannot extend into the swale, sidewalk, or right-of-way. All unsold items must be removed from outdoor display and returned inside by the end of the permitted sale period. Signage for garage sales must comply with the city's sign ordinance — the Board of Architects aesthetic standards influence what is acceptable in residential areas. A garage sale may be rescheduled in case of rain, but only when the owner or lessee changes the permit date in person within one week of the original sale date. Contact Code Enforcement at (305) 460-5216.
Holding a garage sale without a permit is a code violation subject to fines. Exceeding the permitted frequency, hours, or duration results in citations. Items displayed beyond the property boundaries violate right-of-way regulations. Code Enforcement actively monitors compliance and may shut down unpermitted sales.
