Citrus Heights permits residential garage sales as a neighborhood activity. The Municipal Code typically allows up to 3-4 garage sales per household per year, each lasting no more than 2-3 consecutive days, during daylight hours. No business license is required for genuine residential garage sales.
Under Citrus Heights Municipal Code, garage sales (also called yard or estate sales) are considered an accessory residential use rather than a commercial business when limited in frequency. The typical rule is no more than 3 or 4 sales per calendar year per residence, each limited to 2-3 consecutive days. Sales must take place during daylight hours (typically 7 AM - dusk). Merchandise must be personal property owned by the residents - reselling merchandise purchased specifically for resale converts the sale into an unpermitted commercial business. Items cannot be displayed in the public right-of-way or block sidewalks. Signage is restricted (see garage-sale-signs). Estate sales run by licensed liquidators may have different requirements.
Unpermitted commercial reselling under the guise of garage sales is subject to business license enforcement. Nuisance garage sales may trigger administrative citations.
