New Orleans does not require a specific permit for residential garage or yard sales. Sales are considered normal residential activity when conducted within reasonable limits. No fee or registration is required.
Garage and yard sales on residential property are allowed without a permit. Sales should be infrequent and conducted on private property. Items may not be displayed on sidewalks or in the right-of-way. In historic districts, visible yard sales should be temporary to avoid potential HDLC concerns about property appearance.
While no permit is needed, sales that violate property maintenance standards, block public rights-of-way, or operate as disguised commercial enterprises may face code enforcement action.
