Cedar Hill limits residential garage sales to a small number per address per year (typically three), with each sale lasting no more than three consecutive days and signs subject to the city's temporary sign rules.
Cedar Hill's code regulates garage, yard, estate, and moving sales as occasional residential activities, not retail businesses. Residents may typically hold up to three garage sales per calendar year per address, with each sale limited to three consecutive days. Sales must be conducted on the residential property of the seller and may not be held on vacant lots or in commercial parking lots without permission and applicable permits. Goods sold must be the personal property of the household, not items purchased for resale (which would constitute home occupation retail and require licensing). Some cities require a no-cost permit; Cedar Hill residents should check with city hall before each sale. Hours typically run from sunrise to sunset, and signs must comply with the temporary sign rules (private property only).
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Cedar Hill code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
