Garage sales in Lodi are regulated under LMC Chapter 9.20 (Recreational and Garage Sales). The chapter sets time, place, and manner rules for residential garage sales; no city business license is required for occasional residential sales.
LMC Chapter 9.20 (Recreational and Garage Sales) regulates the time, place, and manner of residential garage sales. The chapter restricts sales to daytime hours, prohibits selling new (non-household) merchandise from a residence as if it were a retail store, and limits the frequency of sales per address per year so that residential garage sales do not become an ongoing commercial use of residential property. Garage sale signs are governed separately under LMC 17.34. The City does not require a general business license for occasional residential garage sales, but sellers must follow all signage rules and may not block sidewalks with merchandise.
Operating an unpermitted commercial sales operation under the guise of a garage sale, or violating the time/frequency limits, is a violation of LMC 9.20 enforced by Community Improvement and Lodi Police with administrative citations.
