The East Baton Rouge City-Parish does not publish a specific garage/yard sale permit ordinance for residential occasional sales. Sales are treated as an accessory residential use; signs must follow sign rules and items cannot be left as blight. Check with the Planning Commission for your zone.
Research of the consolidated City-Parish Code and brla.gov found no dedicated garage-sale permit section imposing an annual cap or fee for ordinary residential yard sales; occasional sales are generally allowed as an accessory use in residential districts under the Unified Development Code. Practical limits still apply: garage-sale signs must comply with the sign ordinance and cannot be placed in the public right-of-way, and merchandise, tables, or leftover items cannot be left out afterward or they become "blight" under Sec. 12:651. Repeated or continuous selling can cross into a home occupation or retail use needing a permit. Confirm specifics for your zoning district with the Office of the Planning Commission (225-389-3144).
No specific garage-sale penalty; enforcement occurs through sign, blight (Sec. 12:651), or zoning/home-occupation rules if a sale becomes a business or leaves debris.
