Yard sales in unincorporated LA County do not require a specific permit but must comply with County Ordinance 22.140.620. Sales are only permitted on properties with existing residential use. Only the property owner or tenant may conduct a sale.
Occasional yard or garage sales in unincorporated LA County do not require a specific permit. Sales are considered a temporary accessory use of residential property. However, sellers must comply with general county regulations including sign placement rules, parking requirements, and noise standards. Items sold must be personal property — resale of purchased goods for profit constitutes a commercial business requiring a business license. California sales tax applies to new items but not used personal property sold below original purchase price.
No specific penalties for unpermitted garage sales since no permit is required. However, violations of associated regulations (sign placement, noise, traffic) carry standard code enforcement penalties. Operating a disguised retail business from residential property without a business license carries fines starting at $250.
