Dublin does not require a permit or fee for residential garage sales but limits each household to 3 sales per calendar year, each lasting no more than 3 consecutive days. Zoning enforcement active.
Dublin treats garage sales as a customary residential accessory activity that does not require a city permit when conducted within limits. Typical rule: up to 3 sales per calendar year per residence, each not exceeding 3 consecutive days, with reasonable spacing between sales (commonly at least 60 days). Hours limited to daylight, typically 8 AM to dusk. Only household items may be offered; regular resale of acquired merchandise constitutes a home business requiring zoning compliance. Signs must comply with the sign code (private property only, removed after sale). Estate sales run by a licensed estate sale company follow the same residential limits.
Exceeding limits or operating as de facto retail: zoning violation, cease and desist notice, fines up to 150 dollars per day. Illegal signs: separate citation.
