Garage sales in unincorporated Sacramento County are generally allowed without a permit but must be limited in frequency and duration. Sales must be for the temporary sale of used or unwanted household items; commercial vending or repeated sales convert the use to retail (which is not allowed in residential zones).
Sacramento County Code Enforcement's Yard Sales page treats garage / yard sales as accessory to residential use, allowed without permit if infrequent (commonly 2-3 per year per address) and limited to daylight hours. Vending of food products at a yard sale is regulated separately and requires a conditional use permit and Sacramento County EMD permit. Signs advertising the sale must come down promptly after the sale ends; right-of-way signs may be removed by Public Works.
Repeated 'yard sales' approaching weekly frequency are treated as unpermitted retail - cease-and-desist order plus possible Business License back-assessment.
