Garage sales permitted at residences without permit, limited to 3 sales per calendar year, maximum 3 consecutive days each. No sales before 8 AM or after 8 PM.
McKeesport allows residential garage/yard sales without a city permit, subject to modest frequency and hours limits. The common rule is no more than 3 sales per household per calendar year, each lasting up to 3 consecutive days, with sale hours between 8 AM and 8 PM. Signs advertising the sale may not be posted on utility poles, traffic signs, or public rights-of-way (such signs may be removed by Public Works), and all signs must be removed within 24 hours after the sale ends. Items offered must be the household's personal property — continuous resale of purchased merchandise triggers business licensing and home occupation requirements. Sales of firearms, ammunition, and certain regulated items require separate state/federal compliance.
Exceeding 3 sales/year: citation typically $50-$200. Illegal sign posting: $25-$100 per sign plus removal. Operating as unpermitted business: home-business zoning violation $100-$500/day.
