Corona Municipal Code Chapter 5.36 limits residential garage and yard sales to no more than four per property per calendar year, each lasting no more than three consecutive days. No city permit is required, but signage is restricted and sales must occur entirely on private property. Commercial sales of new merchandise are prohibited.
Corona Municipal Code Chapter 5.36 (Garage and Yard Sales) regulates the frequency, duration, and conduct of residential garage sales. Each residential property may conduct no more than four sales per calendar year, with each sale lasting no more than three consecutive days. Sales may only occur on the property of the resident, not in front yards extending into the public sidewalk or street. All merchandise must be personal household items belonging to the residents (used clothing, furniture, books, toys, etc.); selling new merchandise, items acquired specifically for resale, or operating an ongoing business under the guise of garage sales is prohibited and constitutes an unlicensed business. No city permit or business license is required for compliant garage sales. Hours typically run from 7:00 AM to sunset to avoid noise complaints. Signage rules under Chapter 17.74 limit signs to 6 square feet on private property only (not on utility poles or public right-of-way). Sales must not block sidewalks for pedestrian access. Frequent or commercial-style operations may trigger code enforcement action and require a business license. Estate sales conducted by professional companies may have separate licensing requirements.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Corona code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
