Garage sale regulations vary by municipality across Allegheny County. Most allow 2 to 4 sales per year per address without permit, lasting 1 to 3 days each, during daylight hours only. No county rule.
Pittsburgh does not require a permit for household garage sales but limits to residential items only and 3 days per sale. Most suburbs follow similar pattern: no permit needed for 2 to 4 sales annually, daylight hours 8 AM to 8 PM, no selling new or commercial merchandise. Some boroughs like Dormont and Mt. Lebanon require a free permit for tracking purposes. Sales must occur on property; no staging on public right-of-way.
Typical violations 25 to 100 dollars for exceeding sale limits or operating as unlicensed retail business. Persistent violators may be cited under zoning ordinance as unpermitted commercial use.
