At present, the City of Va Beach does not require a permit for residential garage sales. However, the City Zoning Ordinance does prohibit retail sales from residential property. Each sale is limited to a duration of three calendar days.
Sales are limited to the personal property of the residents of the dwelling where the sale occurs.
Resale of items purchased specifically to be sold at the sale is prohibited. Sale of crafts and art work created for resale is prohibited. Any violation of this policy would result in legal action for operation of a retail establishment in a residential area.
