South Jordan does not require a permit for casual residential garage or yard sales. Sales must be conducted on the homeowner's private property, not block pedestrian or vehicle traffic, and follow frequency limits so as not to become a de facto retail business.
South Jordan Municipal Code does not require residents to obtain a permit or pay a fee for occasional residential yard, garage, estate, or moving sales. Sales must occur on private property owned or occupied by the seller, not in public right-of-way, parks, or HOA common areas without HOA permission. Items sold must be household goods belonging to the seller; operating a regular retail or resale business from a residence is a home-occupation use requiring a home-occupation permit and must comply with Title 17 zoning. Sales must not block sidewalks, crosswalks, fire hydrants, or driveways, and parking by customers must comply with regular on-street parking rules. Sales typically run during daylight hours, and cleanup (including all directional signs) must be completed by the end of the sale day. HOAs in Daybreak and other neighborhoods may require advance notice, participate in coordinated community-wide sale days, or restrict yard sales to certain dates; HOA rules supplement but cannot override city ordinances. Utah Sales Tax: Casual sales of household goods are generally exempt from state sales tax under Utah Code 59-12-104 (isolated or occasional sales). Selling new inventory or operating repeatedly crosses into taxable retail activity and requires a sales tax license.
