Garage sales allowed in residential zones without a permit, typically limited to 2-3 sales per address per year, 3 consecutive days each. Temporary signs must be removed within 24 hours of sale end.
Lawrenceville treats occasional yard/garage sales as incidental residential use, not commercial activity. Most Georgia cities cap the frequency (commonly 2-3 per year) and duration (3 days each) to distinguish hobby selling from a de-facto retail business. Signs posted on utility poles, stop signs, or in the public right-of-way violate the sign ordinance and are removed by Public Works. Sales in HOA neighborhoods may be restricted further by covenants.
Sign violations $50-$250. Exceeding sale frequency may trigger requirement for Occupation Tax Certificate.
