San Francisco does not require a permit for residential garage sales or yard sales. Occasional personal sales of used household items do not require a business license. Items must be sold on private property.
Residential garage sales are a permitted activity without a city permit or business registration, provided they are occasional personal sales of used household goods. Items cannot be displayed or sold on public sidewalks or rights-of-way. Sales should not create unreasonable noise or traffic disturbances. If sales become frequent or involve commercial quantities of goods, they may be considered an unpermitted home business requiring a business registration certificate.
Using public sidewalks for sales may result in DPW enforcement. Frequent commercial-scale sales without a business license may result in tax and licensing enforcement.
