Baldwin Park limits yard sales to four citywide dates per year — the first Saturday and Sunday of March, June, September and December — between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Sales are limited to city residents selling used personal items only. Failure to comply with BPMC § 119.02 is subject to a fine.
Unlike most cities that allow individually scheduled garage sales, Baldwin Park sets fixed citywide yard-sale weekends. Per the City's Yard Sale Information page, yard sales are permitted four times per year — on the first Saturday and Sunday of the months of March, June, September and December. Sales are permitted between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., and all merchandise must be removed by 7 p.m. with no overnight display permitted. Participation is limited to Baldwin Park residents only, and only the sale of used personal merchandise is allowed — no sale or re-sale of new merchandise. All merchandise must be kept on private property; display on the sidewalk, parkway, street, alley or any other public right-of-way is not permitted. The city states that failure to comply with Baldwin Park Municipal Code regulations (BPMC § 119.02) is subject to a fine. The city's published page does not state a permit requirement or a fee for participating on these designated dates. Because the dates are fixed citywide, residents do not apply for individual sale dates; they simply hold sales on the four allowed weekends within the posted hours and rules.
Holding a yard sale outside the four designated weekends, before 7 a.m. or after 7 p.m., selling new merchandise, or displaying goods in the public right-of-way violates the rules; the city states failure to comply with BPMC § 119.02 is subject to a fine. General Community Enhancement citation amounts are $100, $200 and $500 per violation.
