San Diego County does not have specific property maintenance rules for garage sales beyond general standards. Merchandise should be displayed neatly. Property should be returned to normal condition after the sale. Signage must comply with County sign regulations.
The County does not have a specific ordinance governing garage sale conduct or property appearance standards during sales. General property maintenance and nuisance standards apply. Merchandise should be displayed on the property (not on sidewalks or in the street). After the sale, the property should be returned to its normal condition — unsold items must be stored or disposed of, not left on the lawn or driveway. Signs must be removed after the sale and comply with County sign regulations (no signs on utility poles or in public rights-of-way). Traffic and parking should not obstruct roads or driveways. Noise from the sale should comply with the general noise ordinance.
Post-sale cleanup failures may be cited as nuisances. Sign violations handled under sign ordinance. Parking and noise violations enforced separately.
