No permit required for garage sales in unincorporated Pima County. Sales must be on private property. Signs cannot be placed in county right-of-way per Ch. 18.81.
Unincorporated Pima County has no garage sale permit requirement. Residents may hold garage sales, yard sales, and estate sales on their own residential property without prior county approval. The county does not impose a fee or registration for occasional residential sales. However, signs advertising garage sales may not be placed on county road right-of-way, utility poles, or traffic signs per Pima County Code Chapter 18.81 (Sign Code). Signs on private property must not obstruct sight lines at intersections. Ongoing or frequent sales operations may trigger business licensing and TPT (transaction privilege tax) requirements under Arizona Department of Revenue rules. If a residential property consistently operates like a commercial retail establishment, code compliance may investigate zoning violations.
