Temple Terrace does not require a paid permit for occasional residential garage sales but limits each household to 2 sales per year, 3 consecutive days each.
Under Temple Terrace Code, an occasional garage or yard sale is not considered a business activity requiring a Business Tax Receipt, so no permit fee applies. However, each residence is limited to 2 garage sales per calendar year, each lasting no more than 3 consecutive days, between the hours of 8 AM and sunset. Sales exceeding this frequency are treated as ongoing retail activity requiring proper zoning and a business tax receipt, which residential properties generally cannot obtain. Signage for the sale must follow the city temporary-sign rules: on private property only, 4 square feet max, removed within 24 hours after the sale.
Third sale in a year or extended duration: $100-$250 code citation and/or treated as unlicensed business.
