Pinellas County limits each garage sale event to a short consecutive-day window under Chapter 138 zoning, with daytime hours expected and signage governed by the county sign code in Article XII.
Pinellas County zoning treats garage sales as occasional events rather than continuous retail. Each of the two annual permitted sales is expected to run only for a short consecutive period, typically a weekend, and must occur during daylight hours so as not to disturb neighbors. Temporary garage sale signage is governed by Article XII of Chapter 138, which restricts placement on rights-of-way and limits how long signs may remain. Items must be removed from the front yard at the end of the sale period. Sales conducted only at night, extending across many days, or repeating consecutively can be cited as a residential business under Chapter 138.
Sign and time-limit violations carry the same code-enforcement fine schedule as frequency violations, beginning at $80 and escalating up to $500.
