What legally constitutes a garage sale in San Joaquin County?

I wish I knew why you were asking. Do you wonder if you are required to have a business license to hold a garage sale or sell one item in San Joaquin County? The San Joaquin County Code Chapter 7-1000 may require a license to run such a business, although that applies only outside of an incorporated city. The provision applies to selling goods for profit or not for profit. You may wish to call the County offices and call any city or town offices, if you live in one, and ask your question.

If selling one item is too much hassle where you live, you may wish to sell it elsewhere.
