Miami Beach requires a $20 permit for garage sales, which are limited to one per residential address per 12-month period for two consecutive days. Garage sale signs must comply with temporary sign regulations under Chapter 138 and cannot be placed on public property, utility poles, or rights-of-way.
The City of Miami Beach requires a garage sale permit at a fee of $20.00 before conducting a residential garage sale. Only one garage sale is permitted at a residential location in each 12-month period, and each permit is valid for two consecutive days. No business entity may conduct a garage sale at a residential location. Signage for garage sales must comply with the temporary sign provisions of Chapter 138 of the Land Development Regulations. Signs cannot be placed on public property, utility poles, rights-of-way, sidewalks, or traffic control devices. Directional signs on private property require the property owner's permission. All garage sale signs must be removed immediately after the sale concludes. The permit application is available through the city's Finance Department. Garage sale items must be displayed on the property and not encroach into sidewalks, swales, or rights-of-way. The sale must comply with residential noise standards and parking requirements.
Conducting a garage sale without a permit results in Code Compliance citations. Illegal sign placement on public property or utility poles leads to immediate removal and fines. Exceeding the one-sale-per-year limit is a separate violation.
