Why is it that specifying whether a property has a garage or not is not common practice?

Part of the problem is that Zillow's database provides a space for "type" of parking, but not the number of cars it can facilitate.

Still, it could be listed in the description so that it can be found with a keywords filter; but most people don't.

I don't even provide that info for my house; but then, I'm not presently selling.

don't have the answer, i haven't noticed it being all that common to not be provided.  but if it's a common issue in your area, maybe suggest to the local Board to make the "garage type" field a required field  (seems like it is required here)  hopefully they will listen.

Consumers frequently are specifically searching and garage is a MUST..so it's too valuable not to have that info in there so that they will FIND it when they search.

As far as I can tell, it is because members of the National Association of Realtors® are more interested in "selling" and "making a commission" than providing the information people are really looking for.

If they leave information off, they are hoping for a phone call or a site visit.
