DeKalb County does not require a permit for occasional residential garage sales, but signage and frequency limits apply under the Code of Ordinances.
DeKalb County allows residents to hold occasional yard/garage sales at their primary residence without a permit, provided the activity stays within frequency, duration, and signage rules. Signs advertising sales on public rights-of-way (utility poles, medians) are prohibited and removed by county crews; signs on private property with owner permission must be taken down promptly after the sale. Merchandise must be personal property, not commercially acquired for resale. Some cities within DeKalb — notably Dunwoody and Brookhaven — have their own registration requirements and may require a free online sign-up.
Illegal right-of-way signs: removed and warning, then $25 to $100 per sign. Ongoing retail disguised as garage sales: unlicensed-business citation $100 to $1,000.
