Summary
Marysville caps garage sales at two per year, six days each, and requires sale signs removed within 24 hours; signs can't be attached to public structures, traffic control devices, or utility poles.
Signs advertising such sales shall not be attached to any public structures, signs or traffic control devices, nor to any utility poles. All such signs shall be removed 24 hours after the sale is completed. A garage sale complying with the above conditions shall be considered as being an allowable accessory use to all residential land uses. A garage sale violating one or more of the above conditions shall be considered a commercial use and will be disallowed unless it complies with all requirements affecting commercial uses.
(10) Residential accessory structures must comply with development standards in Chapter 22C.180 MMC.
(11) Manufactured homes must:
(a) Be set on a permanent foundation, as specified by the manufacturer, enclosed with an approved concrete product from the bottom of the home to the ground which may be either load-bearing or decorative;
(b) Meet all design standards applicable to all other single-family homes in the neighborhood in which the manufactured home is to be located;
(c) Be no more than five years old, as evidenced by the date of manufacture recorded on the HUD data plate. An administrative variance to the requirement that a manufactured home be no more than five years old may be granted by the community development director only if the applicant demonstrates all of the following:
(i) The strict enforcement of the provisions of this title creates an unnecessary hardship to the property owner;

Full Breakdown
Marysville Municipal Code Section 22C.010.070(9) treats a garage sale as an accessory residential use only if it follows two rules: no more than two sales per residential premises per year, each lasting no more than six days within a 15-day period, and no sale sign attached to public structures, traffic control devices, or utility poles. Signs must come down within 24 hours after the sale ends. A sale that breaks any of these conditions is reclassified as a commercial use and is barred unless it meets full commercial development standards.
Violations & Fines
Breaking any garage-sale condition, including the sign rules, reclassifies the sale as a commercial use and bars it unless it meets Marysville's full commercial-use standards; the city's Title 22A code-enforcement process can then order correction and assess civil penalties.
