Essex County caps how often you can hold a yard sale. Peabody allows two sale days a year per address; Lawrence allows up to four one-day sales, no more than two running consecutively.
The number of sales is limited per address per calendar year. Peabody permits two yard-sale days annually. Lawrence caps it at four one-day sales at any one location each year and bars sales running more than two consecutive days. These limits keep residential yard sales from turning into ongoing retail operations in neighborhoods, and the counts reset each calendar year.
Exceeding the yearly limit or running a sale beyond the consecutive-day cap voids the permit and can bring fines for unlicensed sales.
