Bergenfield limits each residential property to two garage sale permits per calendar year, with each permit covering two consecutive sale days.
Under Bergenfield's garage sale licensing regime administered by the Building Department, residents may obtain a maximum of two garage sale permits per year. Each $5 permit authorizes a sale spanning two consecutive days, so the practical annual maximum is four sale days per household. The cap is tracked through the Borough permit system to prevent residences from operating de facto retail businesses out of single-family homes.
Applying for or holding a third garage sale in the same calendar year is a violation of Bergenfield's licensing rules. Selling on additional days outside the two-permit allowance can be treated as unlicensed retail activity by Code Enforcement.
