Deer Park requires a garage sale permit from the city before holding a sale. Permits are available at no cost from the Community Development Department and limit the number of sales per year.
Under Deer Park Code Chapter 22 (Businesses), garage and yard sales require a permit from the Community Development Department. Permits are issued free of charge. Each household is limited to a set number of sales per calendar year (typically 2–4 sales). Sales must be conducted on the permit holder's own property and may not be held on sidewalks, streets, or public areas. Merchandise must be personal property — purchasing items for resale at a garage sale is considered peddling and requires a separate business license. Signs advertising garage sales are subject to the city's sign ordinance and may not be placed on utility poles, traffic signs, or in city rights-of-way.
Operating without a permit or exceeding the annual sale limit may result in a citation with fines up to $500.
