Fort Lee Borough limits the number of garage sales a household may hold per calendar year, typically capping permitted sales at two per address each year.
Under Fort Lee's licensing ordinance, each residential address is generally limited to no more than two garage or yard sales per calendar year, with each sale lasting no more than two consecutive days. The Borough Clerk tracks issued permits to enforce the limit. Estate sales following a death or move-out may qualify for separate consideration. The frequency limit prevents recurring commercial-style operations from running out of residential properties, helping preserve neighborhood character and zoning integrity.
Exceeding the annual limit or running unpermitted recurring sales can result in fines from $100 to $1,000 and possible zoning enforcement for operating an unpermitted business.
