West Valley City does not require a permit for residential garage sales held up to 3 times per year for 3 consecutive days each. Frequent sales require a business license.
Residential garage, yard, moving, and estate sales are allowed as an accessory use to a home without a permit or fee, provided each household holds no more than 3 sales per calendar year and each sale lasts no more than 3 consecutive days. Sales must occur during daylight hours on private property, and merchandise may not block sidewalks, driveways, or the public right-of-way. Operators who exceed these limits are considered to be running a retail business and must obtain a commercial business license and comply with zoning requirements.
