Oklahoma City regulates garage sales and yard sales as accessory uses in residential districts. Sales are limited in frequency and duration. Merchandise must be removed from the yard when the sale is not actively in progress. Signage must comply with Chapter 3 sign regulations. A permit may be required depending on the zoning district and frequency of sales.
Oklahoma City property maintenance code applies to garage and yard sales to prevent blight conditions. Merchandise must be displayed in an organized manner, not scattered across the yard. Tables, racks, and display items must be removed or stored out of public view by the end of sale hours each day. Unsold items cannot be left at the curb or in the front yard between sale days or after the sale concludes. Signs must be removed within 24 hours of the sale ending. Properties that develop a pattern of visible clutter may receive blight citations.
Items left out after sale: $50 to $200 blight citation. Signs not removed: $25 to $50. Habitual violations: escalating fines.
