Huntsville does not require a permit for residential garage sales limited to 2 per year. Sales beyond this frequency require business license and proper zoning review.
Huntsville residents may hold up to 2 garage, yard, or estate sales per calendar year at their residence without a city permit. Each sale is limited to 3 consecutive days and must occur during daylight hours. No registration or fee is required for occasional garage sales. However holding sales more frequently effectively operates retail business from a residence, requiring a City of Huntsville business license and zoning compliance review (home occupation permit). Estate sales conducted by professional estate sale companies require the business to hold a Huntsville business license. Signs promoting the sale must be on private property with permission and removed within 24 hours of sale end.
