Garage sales in San Antonio, Texas

No. San Antonio requires a free garage sale permit (two per year, up to three days each). Signs on private property only. Your city may still set rules on signage and hours, and a strata, HOA or residents' association can add its own.

Alamo Heights, Monte Vista, King William tend to post the most listings, and Terrell Hills is worth a detour for household and kids' items.

Roughly February to November, and peak weekends are spring through early summer and again in early fall. Outside that window listings thin out rather than stop — set a date filter and the map will only show what is actually on around Alamo Heights.

Cash, Venmo and Zelle are the most common. Some sellers also accept cards via Square. Get Garage Sales never touches your sale proceeds. Bring small notes either way — a seller in Alamo Heights at 8am is unlikely to have change for a large one.

Locally you will see them listed as yard sale, estate sale, moving sale and stoop sale. They all show up here — searching any one of those terms returns the same San Antonio map, covering Alamo Heights, Monte Vista, King William and the rest of the city.

Start around a third of retail and be willing to move. Anything still there in the final hour is worth discounting hard — the goal is a clear garage, not maximum margin on each item.

Search the city or use your location, and the map orders every listing by how far it is from you. A typical run takes in Alamo Heights then Monte Vista, with the date filter set to the day you are actually free.

Cash or Venmo, bags of your own, and something to measure with. If there is any chance you will buy furniture, take the larger car — sellers rarely deliver.

Alamo Heights, Monte Vista, King William and Olmos Park have the most sales thanks to older, character homes. Stone Oak and the far north side lean newer. New Braunfels and Boerne (just outside the city) run popular community sale weekends.

Most San Antonio sales open between 7:00 and 9:00 am on Saturdays — earlier in summer. Estate sales typically start at 8:00 am. Sunday sales open later, around 10:00 am, and run shorter.

Yes. Several neighborhoods and military communities (Fort Sam Houston area) run seasonal community sales, and New Braunfels hosts a popular annual citywide sale. These cluster dozens of sales within walking distance.
