Not defending Sacramento County, but the headline doesn't match the article. Apparently, it IS legal to work on your OWN care IN your garage (sometimes).
Does that mean its ok to work on your own car in your neighbors garage?
Most cities have ordinances like this. I’m glad ours does. 2 years ago my neighbor sold her house. Sold in 3 days. When the new people moved in we found out why. The house has 2 huge driveways. One in front of the house where the garage was turned into a game room and one in back of the house where the new garage was added. It’s on a corner. One week after the new people moved in both driveways were full of Prius in various states of repair. There was 10-12 of them. One was wrecked and on a trailer. I told the man....you can’t run a fricking repair shop out of your driveways. Either get rid of them or I’m turning you in. I was embarrassed when people came to my home. Anyway, a week later they were still there so I turned him into our cities code enforcement. They came out and told him he had to get rid of them by X date. He didn’t. When they came back I was out front and talked to the enforcement guy. Told him the story the guy had told him was a lie. He said yeah, this is gonna cost him. They fined him so much per car and a week later they were all gone. I appreciated code enforcement.
