Duluth allows residential yard/garage sales with minimal regulation. Typically limited to 2-4 sales per year per residence, 2-3 consecutive days each. Signs on public ROW or utility poles prohibited; removed by city.
Duluth's Code of Ordinances and Unified Development Code treat occasional household garage sales as accessory residential activity exempt from occupation-tax licensing, but they impose reasonable frequency and signage rules to prevent unlicensed retail operations in residential zones. Most Gwinnett jurisdictions, including Duluth, limit sales to roughly 2-4 per calendar year per household, each running 2-3 consecutive days between daylight hours. Signs placed on utility poles, traffic-signal posts, or the public right-of-way violate the city sign ordinance and are removed and discarded by Public Works — a sign deposit may apply. Sales on private property with owner permission are allowed. Sales tax (O.C.G.A. §48-8-3) generally exempts casual, isolated sales but regular sellers must register with the Georgia DOR.
Warning first; sign removal; fines $50-$500 for repeat sign violations or unlicensed retail; occupation-tax back-assessment for business-pattern sales.
