Garage Sale Regulations

The City of La Mirada has adopted regulations for conducting garage sales.  These regulations are intended to minimize the effects of traffic, noise, and signage in residential areas while permitting residents to sell unwanted items.

•  Two garage sales may be held each calendar year with a City permit.

• Permits may be obtained for a $10 fee at the La Mirada Community Sheriff’s Station, 13716 La Mirada Boulevard. The Community Sheriff's Station is open seven days a week between the hours of 9 a.m. and 9 p.m.

• Garage sales may be conducted on Saturdays and Sundays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

• Sale items are limited to the resident’s personal goods. The resale of merchandise is prohibited.

• Signs may not be erected, posted on, or attached to any public property such as trees, utility poles, and medians. Signs may be posted on private property with the property owner’s permission.
