Cobb County Code Ch. 78 property maintenance applies to yard sales. Items organized, tables removed at day's end, signs down within 24 hours of sale conclusion. Persistent clutter = blight citation.
Cobb County's Property Maintenance Code (Ch. 78) works in tandem with the garage-sale ordinance (Ch. 90) to prevent residential lots from becoming de facto outdoor retail yards. During the permitted 3-day sale window, merchandise must be organized on tables or racks — not dumped in piles on the lawn. Each night items must be covered, moved behind the front building line, or put away. Signs must be removed within 24 hours of the sale ending (both on-site and any neighbor-authorized off-site locations). Unsold items left at the curb after the final sale day are treated as illegal bulky-waste disposal. Properties that habitually display merchandise, stored goods, or accumulated junk — even between sales — face property-maintenance blight citations and possible registration on Cobb's nuisance-property list.
Overnight outdoor merchandise: $50–$200 Ch. 78 blight citation. Signs left up past 24 hours: $25–$100. Repeat pattern: progressive fines up to $1,000 and magistrate referral.
