Saint Michael does not require a permit for residential garage or yard sales. Sales are treated as a household activity, not a commercial transient merchant use under Chapter 96.
Chapter 96 (Peddlers, Solicitors, and Transient Merchants) excludes incidental household garage sales from its transient-merchant licensing requirements. The city does not maintain a garage-sale registration program. Sellers must still comply with the sign rules of Sec. 155.084 (signs on private property only, not in the right-of-way) and the general nuisance authority of Sec. 91.18 if the sale produces ongoing traffic, noise, or impermissible accumulations of items. A sale that continues for too many days or recurs at high frequency may be reclassified as commercial transient merchandising under Chapter 96.
Operating an extended-duration or recurring sale that crosses into commercial activity without a Chapter 96 license is a misdemeanor under Sec. 10.99 — up to $1,000 / 90 days.
