Converse residents may hold garage sales on their own property. Sales must not block sidewalks or streets, and merchandise cannot be left in the yard between sale days or stored in public view.
Garage sales, yard sales, and estate sales are permitted at residential properties in Converse subject to frequency and display limits. Merchandise must be displayed on the seller's private property (driveway, front yard, garage) and may not spill onto public sidewalks, city rights-of-way, or neighboring lots without permission. Sales may operate only during daylight hours (typically 7:00 AM to dusk). Between sale days, all merchandise must be removed from view or returned indoors to avoid creating a visual nuisance or appearance of a permanent retail operation. Selling from a residential lot on a regular basis (weekly or monthly) is considered operating an unpermitted retail business and is prohibited. Customers should park legally and not block driveways, hydrants, or traffic. Signs advertising the sale must follow the city sign ordinance (see garage-sale-signs).
