Richmond regulates residential garage sales through its Unified Development Ordinance, controlling frequency, location, and signage of sales on residential property.
Richmond's Unified Development Ordinance includes provisions governing garage sales as accessory uses on residential property. The UDO defines garage sales and addresses how often residents may hold sales, where merchandise may be displayed, and how signs advertising sales may be placed. Signs are typically restricted to the property of the sale and must be removed promptly after the event ends per Article 4.7 sign regulations.
Operating sales beyond allowed frequency, placing signs in rights-of-way, or running commercial-scale sales from residential property triggers code enforcement action.
