DeKalb County property-maintenance code requires garage sale merchandise to be displayed neatly, removed daily, and not accumulated on the property between events.
DeKalb County Property Maintenance Code requires residents holding garage sales to display merchandise in an orderly manner and not let items accumulate in yards, driveways, or curbside between events. Tables, racks, and unsold items must be moved out of public view at the end of each day of the sale. Leaving unsold goods at the curb after the sale is treated as illegal dumping. Signs must be removed within 24 hours of the sale's end. Chronic clutter — multiple weeks of scattered items on front yards — can escalate to a blight citation and potentially a nuisance declaration under O.C.G.A. §41-2-5.
Items left out after sale: $50 to $500 blight citation. Signs not removed: $25 to $100 per sign. Pattern of clutter: escalating fines and potential nuisance declaration.
