Huntsville limits residential garage sales to no more than 2 sales per calendar year per residence, each lasting no more than 3 consecutive days. Sales must occur on residential premises only.
Huntsville Zoning Ordinance treats frequent garage sales as unpermitted retail activity in residential zones. Residents may hold up to 2 garage, yard, or estate sales per calendar year at their home, each limited to 3 consecutive days. Sales beyond this frequency constitute operating a business from the home without a business license and proper zoning. Hours are typically limited to daylight (7 AM to dusk) to avoid noise complaints. Merchandise must be personal property of the household, not items purchased for resale. Multi-family or neighborhood sales organized by HOAs count as one event per participating household.
Exceeding 2 sales per year or 3-day duration can trigger citations of 100 to 500 dollars and potential business license enforcement action.
