Greenwood, IN Garage & Yard Sales: Frequency, Duration & Permits (2026)

Section 6-336 caps yard sales, patio sales, and garage sales at three days within any rolling thirty-day period; holding one longer is prohibited outright, with no permit or registration option to extend it. The prohibition reaches two separate parties: subsection (a) bars the sale itself beyond three days, and subsection (b) separately makes it unlawful for a property owner or occupant to allow a yard, patio, or garage sale to run past the limit on their land, and equally unlawful for the person actually conducting the sale to violate the three-day cap.

That double coverage means a homeowner who lets a resident's estate sale or a renter's driveway sale stretch to a fourth day can be cited even if someone else is running the tables. The section, carried over from the 1983 Greenwood Municipal Code § 8-8, sets no fine of its own, so a violation is punished under the City's general penalty, § 1-13: a fine of up to $2,500.00 for any Code violation lacking a specific penalty, with each day the sale continues past the three-day limit charged as a separate offense.

Greenwood does not cap how many three-day sales a household can hold across the year, only how many consecutive days a single sale, or a series treated as one, can run within a thirty-day window, so back-to-back long weekends need a break between them to stay inside the thirty-day period.
