In the late 1990's the City of Ceres passed an ordinance governing garage/yard sales for all properties in the City of Ceres. The ordinance requires the purchase of a permit for a garage/yard sale. This ordinance is found in Title 5, Chapter 30 of the City of Ceres Municipal Code. This ordinance was enacted in response to complaints about neighbors turning their yards into markets every weekend.
