No permit required for residential garage sales in unincorporated Sacramento County. Limit to 2-3 sales per year to stay within occasional-use and sales-tax exemption.
Sacramento County does not require a garage sale permit for occasional residential sales at a private single-family home. Customary practice is no more than two or three sales per 12-month period, each lasting one to three consecutive days. Residents holding more frequent or larger sales risk being classified as an unpermitted retail use or home occupation subject to zoning enforcement and business license requirements. The California CDTFA treats three or more sales in a 12-month period as engaging in business, which triggers seller permit and sales tax obligations. Signs must comply with the county sign ordinance (no placement in right-of-way or on utility poles).
