Full Breakdown
Neenah's yard-sale standard caps how often and how long a sale can run: no more than three yard sales per address per year, and each sale limited to three consecutive days. Yard sales are only allowed as an accessory use, meaning tied to a residential property already used as a home, not run as a standalone commercial activity, and consignment goods or items bought for resale can't be sold. The Code doesn't set specific hours of operation; frequency and duration caps are the only time-based limits in Chapter 26's miscellaneous general regulations.
Violations & Fines
Running more yard sales than the code allows is a zoning violation under Neenah Municipal Code § 26-28, punishable by a forfeiture of $10 to $100 per offense, with each day of noncompliance a separate offense.
