Garage Sales

You are allowed three signs to advertise your garage sale:

• All signs cannot be larger than 6 square feet.
• One sign can be placed at the location of the garage sale.
• Two signs can be placed off premise:
  • You must place the two sign decals included with this permit on the signs located off premise.
  • Garage sale signs posted without the decals in a public right-of-way are not allowed. They may be removed and discarded without notice.
  • Signs posted on City right-of-way objects are strictly prohibited and are considered a misdemeanor offense. This includes utility poles, street signs, traffic signs, street light standards, etc.
• Garage sale signs can be posted two days before the date of the garage sale.
• All signs must be removed upon expiration of the garage sale permit.

• Do not exhibit or display items on the public right-of-way.
• Do not sell food items unless you obtain a food sales permit from the City Health Department.
• These items are prohibited from selling to the public:
  • aerosol paints
  • ammunition
  • glue
  • guns

NOTE: Garage Sale Permit fees are non-refundable.

If your garage sale cannot proceed due to inclement weather, you may request a replacement permit (raincheck):

• The raincheck must be requested within one week from the initial permit date.
• The rescheduled garage sale must be held within 30 days.
• One raincheck allowed per location per calendar year.

Rainchecks and reschedules are not available online. Please call 210-207-1111.
