Sioux Falls allows garage and yard sales without a permit, but limits each property to three sales per 12-month period. Sales must be held in residential zones, run no more than three consecutive days, and operate only between 8 AM and 6 PM.
Under Sioux Falls Code § 160.093 (Accessory Uses, Chapter 160 Zoning), garage/yard sales are a permitted residential accessory use subject to: no permit required; maximum three (3) sales per property per calendar year; sale duration limited to three (3) consecutive days per event; permissible hours 8:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m. daily; sales restricted to residential zoning districts only. Items sold must be household goods belonging to the occupant; commercial resale operations exceeding these limits may require a peddler or business license under Chapter 117.
Exceeding frequency, hours, or duration limits may result in a code enforcement notice and fine. Repeat violations can result in escalating citations under Sioux Falls general penalty provisions.
