The City and County of Honolulu does not require a garage or yard sale permit; LUO 21-5.350 permits occasional garage sales as an accessory use to residential living.
Honolulu has no dedicated garage-sale or yard-sale permit. Under LUO 21-5.350 (home occupations and accessory uses in the Land Use Ordinance), occasional garage sales are allowed as an accessory use customarily associated with normal residential living. However, garage sales may not be used to resell new or used items purchased elsewhere for resale; a commercial-scale operation tips the activity into a regulated home occupation or retail use, which would require a separate permit. The rule applies islandwide across the City and County of Honolulu.
Enforcement as a nonconforming use or unpermitted home occupation if the sale is commercial or recurring beyond accessory use.
