Corona requires a no-cost garage sale permit obtained from the Finance Department or city website before holding a sale. Residents are limited to a maximum number of sales per year, with permits identifying the dates, location, and approved signage rules.
Corona Municipal Code regulates garage and yard sales to prevent commercial activity from operating under a residential guise and to control sign clutter. Residents must obtain a garage sale permit from the city before each sale, available through the Finance Department or online. Permits are typically free but must be displayed visibly during the sale. The permit identifies the residential address, allowed dates, and the sale's intent as occasional household disposition rather than ongoing retail. Sales are limited to no more than three per household per calendar year, with each sale lasting up to three consecutive days (Friday through Sunday is typical). Items sold must be the personal property of the household or immediate family. Selling new merchandise, items obtained for resale, or operating multiple sales per year is considered an illegal home business and subject to enforcement. The permit also includes information about Corona's sign rules. Code Enforcement monitors compliance, particularly in subdivisions where HOAs may further restrict garage sale frequency.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Corona code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
