Shreveport requires a temporary use permit for a residential garage, yard, or estate sale. The application goes to the Zoning Administrator, and the permit is issued to the property owner.
Unified Development Code § 6.2 governs temporary uses on private property and states that unless otherwise indicated, all temporary uses require a temporary use permit applied for by and issued to the property owner. Section 6.2.G.8 places garage, yard, and estate sales in that framework: the event may be conducted in any residential zoning district by obtaining a permit, and the sale must be supervised by the occupant of the residence or the property owner. Applications go to the Zoning Administrator, who may request additional materials to address impacts on surrounding property owners.
Holding a sale without the temporary use permit is a zoning violation subject to Municipal Code § 1-14 general penalty: a fine up to $1,000.00, up to 60 days, or both.
