Redlands Municipal Code Chapter 5.68 requires a city permit before holding any yard, garage, patio, or rummage sale. Permits are issued by the finance director, the fee is set by city council resolution, and the city advertises a $10 yard sale permit applied for through the Revenue Division.
Yard and garage sales in the City of Redlands are regulated by Redlands Municipal Code Chapter 5.68, Yard Sales. Section 5.68.020 makes it unlawful to conduct any sales activity commonly described as a yard, garage, patio, rummage, or similar sale within the city without first obtaining a permit from the city's finance director or the director's designee. Section 5.68.030 provides that the permit fee is set by resolution of the city council; the city's Revenue Division currently advertises a $10.00 yard sale permit. Applicants complete a Yard Sale Permit application online or in person, and payment must be received no later than noon on the Thursday preceding the sale date (Revenue Division contact 909-798-7544). Chapter 5.68 also contains sections on exemptions (5.68.040), frequency and hours (5.68.050), an affidavit that only personal property is to be sold (5.68.060), display of goods (5.68.070), signs (5.68.080), enforcement (5.68.090), and violation/penalty (5.68.100). The specific per-year frequency limit and hours are set in 5.68.050, whose full numeric text was not captured in the fetched excerpt, so no exact number of allowed sales is asserted here. This is a City of Redlands requirement distinct from San Bernardino County rules; permits sold to support personal-property sales only, not ongoing retail business.
Holding an unpermitted sale, exceeding the allowed frequency, or selling non-personal/commercial goods violates Chapter 5.68 and is subject to the enforcement and penalty provisions in 5.68.090 and 5.68.100, including administrative citations under the city's general penalty code, RMC Chapter 1.22.060.
