HOA garage sale rules: what to check first

Your HOA's own documents set its garage sale rules, so read your covenants and community guidelines and ask the board before you plan: which dates are allowed, hours, signs, parking and who may take part. On Millie's, an HOA neighborhood's sale goes public only once your HOA contact confirms it.Updated Nov 4, 2026

Questions to ask your HOA board

DatesWhich weekends are allowed, and how many sales a year?
HoursWhat start and end times should every home keep?
SignsWhere can signs go, and when must they come down?
Parking and trafficWhere should shoppers park, and are any streets off limits?
Who can take partOwners only, or renters too? Do homes pay to join?
Rain dateIs there a backup date if the weather turns?
After the saleWhat happens to signs and unsold items?

And your city

Some cities need a permit or limit sales per year. We show your city's rule when you set up your sale. Many cities give one permit for a whole neighborhood sale.

Questions

Do I need my HOA's permission?

If your neighborhood has an HOA, yes. You'll give us your HOA contact, and your sale goes public once they confirm. No HOA? You can run it yourself as a resident.

What about city permits?

Some cities need a permit or limit sales per year. We show your city's rule when you set up your sale. Many cities give one permit for a whole neighborhood sale.

Can our HOA run the sale on Millie's?

Yes. Set the sale up in one evening, send one link, and let your neighbors do the rest. No inbox full of addresses. Your organized sale, with your flyers, QR code and "Presented by", goes live only once your HOA or city confirms.

Can our HOA charge homes to be in the sale?

Yes, if you charge households to be in your sale. Each household registers and pays your fee in the app, plus a $2.50 processing fee per address, and your full fee goes straight to your bank account. If your sale is free for sellers, or you collect fees yourself, you pay only the platform fee. (Coming soon.)

Can our HOA or city pay by invoice?

Yes. Email [email protected] with your sale and who should receive the invoice.
