The City of Turlock requires a permit for every garage/yard sale. The Municipal Code allows two garage sales per household per calendar year, each running any three days within a 7-day period, and bars the sale of new items. The $15 permit must be obtained at least five days before the sale and displayed on site. Only one sign is allowed, on the sale property.
Under the Turlock Municipal Code, residents may hold two garage sales per calendar year per household; a permitted sale is 'any three days in a 7-day period,' and selling new (non-household) merchandise is prohibited. A garage sale permit must be obtained at least five days before the sale date and must be displayed at the sale site. The permit costs $15.00 and is available from the City's Recreation Department at 144 S. Broadway, Turlock, or online. Sign rules are strict: yard-sale signs may not be posted on light poles, traffic signs, or any city property, and only ONE sign is permitted per sale, displayed on the property where the sale is held. These are City of Turlock requirements administered by the Public Works/Recreation office (209-668-5594); they apply within the incorporated city and differ from any unincorporated Stanislaus County practice. Code Enforcement (209-664-7348) handles unpermitted-sale and illegal-sign complaints. Holding more than the allowed number of sales, selling new merchandise, or operating without a permit can result in enforcement action.
Holding a sale without a permit, exceeding two sales per year, selling new items, or posting signs on city poles/signs violates City rules. Code Enforcement (209-664-7348) handles complaints; administrative citations may apply (TMC Title 2, Ch. 11).
