Pasco requires a free permit for yard sales, applied for at least 24 hours in advance. Households are limited to two sales per calendar year, each lasting no more than two consecutive days. Sales must be on residential property you occupy, and merchandise must be used or secondhand.
Yard and garage sales in Pasco are regulated under PMC 5.90 (and applied via the city's Yard Sale Permit program). A permit is required for all yard sales within city limits; it is free, with no fee charged. Applications must be made at least 24 hours before the sale begins by a member of the household who is 18 or older, and the city obtains permits by calling 509-543-5726 or visiting the City Hall Permit Center. Frequency and duration are limited: yard sales are limited to two sales in each calendar year for each individual household, and no sale may be conducted for more than two consecutive calendar days. Location is restricted to properties zoned or used for residential purposes on private property that the permit holder occupies; sales are not permitted on sidewalks, alleys, streets or any other public way. Merchandise must consist of used or secondhand material owned by the permit holder or members of the household, distinguishing personal yard sales from retail activity. The sale must be conducted in an orderly manner and must not constitute a public nuisance or a hazard to persons or property. Yard sale signs are allowed only for permitted sales and must conform to PMC 17.15.020. Following these limits keeps a household sale lawful and avoids code enforcement contact.
Holding a sale without a permit, exceeding two sales per year or two consecutive days, selling on public ways, or selling new/retail merchandise violates the yard sale rules. Signs that do not conform to PMC 17.15.020 or sales that create a nuisance can also draw code enforcement action.
