Frequency caps are municipal in Atlantic County. Egg Harbor Township limits each person or location to four permits within a year, none longer than two days. Brigantine caps each person at two sales a calendar year.
How often you can sell is fixed by your municipality, not the county. Egg Harbor Township is explicit: no more than four permits issue to any one person or for any one location within a one-year period — six for nonprofits like fire companies and churches — and no permit runs more than two consecutive days. Brigantine caps a person at two garage sales per calendar year, the same location used no more than twice, each no longer than three consecutive days. Running sales so continuously that a home reads as an unlicensed store raises separate zoning problems anywhere in the county.
Exceeding a town's annual cap — four permits in Egg Harbor Township, two sales in Brigantine — is a municipal ordinance violation drawing a fine. Continuous sales amounting to an unlicensed retail business can trigger separate zoning enforcement.
