Livermore allows occasional residential garage sales without a permit but limits frequency and signage to prevent sales from becoming de facto retail use.
Livermore Municipal Code Chapter 5 treats garage sales as an accessory residential use exempt from a business license if they are occasional. The standard limit is no more than three garage sales per household per calendar year, each lasting no more than three consecutive days, between sunrise and sunset. Merchandise must be personal household goods; new retail merchandise is prohibited. Sales blocking sidewalks or creating traffic hazards may be cited as a public nuisance.
