Scott County cities apply property-maintenance rules to garage sales so they do not become blight. Display goods neatly, pull tables and unsold items out of street view at day's end, and take signs down when the sale ends.
Property-maintenance codes in Shakopee, Savage, and Prior Lake reach garage sales to keep them from tipping into a nuisance. Merchandise should be displayed in an orderly way, not strewn across the yard, and tables, racks, and anything unsold must be stored out of public view once sale hours end each day. Goods cannot be left at the curb or in the front yard between sale days or after the sale wraps up. Temporary signs come down promptly at the end. A property that develops a pattern of visible clutter from repeated sales can draw a blight or nuisance citation on its own.
Leaving merchandise or signs out after the sale is a property-maintenance or sign violation, commonly $25 to $200. A repeated clutter pattern can escalate to nuisance enforcement and abatement.
