Eagan allows up to three garage sales per calendar year per dwelling unit, each held within a consecutive 72-hour period. At least one person conducting the sale must be a resident of the property. Garage sale signs must comply with the City's sign code and be removed and disposed of at the end of each sale.
Eagan's garage sale guidance defines a garage sale as the display and sale of goods or salesmen's samples on residential property, and sets reasonable limits rather than requiring a permit. A property is allowed up to three garage sales per calendar year per dwelling unit, and each garage sale must be held within a consecutive 72-hour period. At least one person conducting the sale should be a resident of the property, which keeps the activity tied to genuine residents rather than commercial operators. Signage is the most regulated aspect: garage sale signs must comply with the City's sign code, may be placed on other private properties only with the owner's permission, and all garage sale signs must be removed and disposed of properly at the end of each sale. The City notes that its garage sale information is written only as a guide and is not a complete set of requirements, so residents should consult the full City Code sign regulations for sign size, placement and right-of-way restrictions. There is no published license or fee requirement for holding a residential garage sale in Eagan.
Holding more than three sales in a calendar year, running a single sale beyond a consecutive 72-hour period, or placing non-compliant signs (including signs left up after the sale or placed without the property owner's permission) can lead to a code enforcement contact. Sign violations are addressed under the City's sign regulations; illegally placed signs in the right-of-way may be removed.
