St. Petersburg allows residents up to three garage sales per address each year under Section 16.50.160, with restrictions on duration, signage placement, and merchandise sourced from outside the household.
Under Section 16.50.160 of the city code, garage and yard sales are an accessory residential use and a maximum of three sales per calendar year are permitted at any single residence. Each sale is generally limited to two or three consecutive days, and only personal household items belonging to occupants of the property may be sold; merchandise brought in for resale is not allowed. Sale signs are subject to the city's sign code (Section 16.40.120) and may not be placed in the public right-of-way, on utility poles, or on traffic signs. Signs must usually be removed promptly after the sale. Repeat or continuous garage sales may be treated as an unpermitted home retail business and subject to enforcement.
Holding more than three sales per year, exceeding allowed days, or posting illegal signs can lead to code enforcement citations, fines, and removal of signage by the city.
