Waipahu garage and yard sales are allowed under the Land Use Ordinance only as occasional accessory uses of a residence; they cannot function as ongoing retail in residential zones.
Chapter 21 the Land Use Ordinance treats garage and yard sales as accessory uses customarily associated with normal residential living. They are not home occupations and no dedicated permit exists. Sales must stay occasional and involve goods belonging to the household rather than resale inventory. Waipahu's dense street grid means customer parking and signage easily spill into public rights-of-way, so owners must keep merchandise, tables, and parking off sidewalks and roadways. Repeated weekly sales, advertised bulk pricing, or stocked resale goods can convert the activity into unpermitted retail, drawing zoning enforcement and potential citations under Chapter 21.
Operating recurring weekly sales, stocking resale merchandise, or posting signs on utility poles can be cited as unpermitted retail under Chapter 21 with required cessation.
