The sale of personal property in a residential district shall be permitted, without regard to local zoning restrictions, if the following conditions are met:
(A) Items commonly associated with residential use and found in a household may be offered for sale at such location. Items cannot be obtained for the sole purpose of developing an inventory for sale. Such sales are intended to be for the sale of secondhand merchandise used in or around a household and no longer needed or desired by the owner for that purpose.
(B) A sale may last:
(1) A single day or any part of a day;
(2) Two consecutive days;
(3) Three consecutive days; or
(4) Four consecutive days.
(C) A sale cannot last longer than four consecutive days.
(D) There may not be items offered for sale from a private residence on more than four calendar days in a month.
(E) There may not be more than two sales from a residence in a month.
(F) There may not be more than six sales from a residence in a calendar year.
(G) All merchandise must be removed from public view at the conclusion of a sale.
(H) Sales which comply with the provisions of divisions (A) through (G) above may advertise in conformity with § 152.30 and in the local media.
(I) The owner may advertise for the sale of individual personal property items (a motor vehicle, piece of furniture, or other such item) in the local media. Except in the case of a motor vehicle, such item may not be displayed for sale except in accordance with the above restrictions. The owner may not offer for sale more than one motor vehicle at any time and the motor vehicle must be owned by the resident of the real estate where it is stored and not obtained by said resident for the sole purpose of resale.
(J) Rain delay. A sale shall not be considered as occurring for the purposes of divisions (D), (E), and (F) above unless it actually occurs. A sale that is advertised but does not take place due to rain or for any other reason, shall not be considered as a sale under this chapter.
