Bernalillo County and Albuquerque do not require a permit for residential garage or yard sales. Signage must comply with ROA §14-16-5-12 (IDO sign regulations) and right-of-way rules. Commercial resale activity is treated as retail and requires business licensing.
Neither Bernalillo County nor the City of Albuquerque requires a permit or registration for ordinary residential garage, yard, or estate sales. Residents may hold occasional sales of their personal property without licensing. The sale must be of the seller's own household goods — repeat or commercial resale operations are classified as retail business under ROA §13-1 and require a Business Registration license plus compliant zoning. Garage sale signs are regulated under the IDO sign code (§14-16-5-12): no signs in medians or street right-of-way, no attachment to utility poles or traffic signs, and signs must be removed within 24 hours of the sale's end. Neighborhood-wide or association-organized sales in HOA or subdivision common areas may require an HOA event approval but no city permit.
No permit violations (none required). Unauthorized signs in right-of-way: $25 to $100 and sign removal under ROA §14-16-5-12. Operating as unlicensed retail: $100 to $500 and potential business registration enforcement.
