Garage/yard sales in unincorporated LA County are regulated under County Ordinance 22.140.620. Only secondhand items, no new merchandise or food sales. Hours: 7 AM-6 PM. Maximum 2 signs on property. Property must be residential. Items must not encroach on public right-of-way.
Garage and yard sales in unincorporated LA County are treated as temporary residential activities under Title 22. Sales must be conducted on the owner's property and cannot spill onto sidewalks, streets, or public right-of-way. Items displayed must be personal property — regularly selling purchased goods constitutes commercial activity. Sales should be occasional (not weekly or bi-weekly). Signage for sales is limited and must follow county sign code requirements. Sellers should be considerate of neighbors regarding parking, noise, and early morning setup times.
Operating frequent garage sales constituting a commercial operation violates residential zoning with fines of $100-$500 per occurrence. Blocking sidewalks or rights-of-way with sale items carries ADA-related penalties of $250+. Illegal sign placement on public property results in fines of $50-$100 per sign. Creating parking or noise disturbances triggers standard code enforcement penalties.
