Glendale does not require a formal permit for residential garage sales. Residents may hold garage sales on their property without applying for or purchasing a permit from the city. However, sales must comply with the city's frequency limits and general property maintenance standards. Items must be displayed on private property, not in the public right-of-way.
Glendale regulates garage and yard sales through a permit or registration system. Permits are typically free or cost $5 to $20 and can be obtained online or at city hall. Permits ensure sales comply with frequency limits, time restrictions, and signage rules. Some cities require permits only after a certain number of sales per year. Signs must comply with local sign ordinance and be removed after the sale. Merchandise must be personal property, not commercially purchased for resale.
Operating without permit where required: $25 to $100. Sign violations: $25 to $50. Exceeding frequency limits: $50 to $200.
