Glendale permits residential garage sales but regulates their frequency and conduct. Sales are limited in the number allowed per year per household. Items must be displayed on private property, not in the street or sidewalk. Sales should not create traffic congestion or parking problems in residential neighborhoods.
Glendale property maintenance code applies to garage and yard sales to prevent blight conditions. Merchandise must be displayed in an organized manner, not scattered across the yard. Tables, racks, and display items must be removed or stored out of public view by the end of sale hours each day. Unsold items cannot be left at the curb or in the front yard between sale days or after the sale concludes. Signs must be removed within 24 hours of the sale ending. Properties that develop a pattern of visible clutter may receive blight citations.
Items left out after sale: $50 to $200 blight citation. Signs not removed: $25 to $50. Habitual violations: escalating fines.
