Teaneck limits the number of garage sales a household may hold per year and caps the duration of each individual sale to prevent ongoing commercial activity in residential zones.
The Township typically permits no more than two garage sales per residence per calendar year, with each sale limited to a maximum of two consecutive days. Repeated or continuous sales are deemed retail activity and prohibited in residential zones. Estate sales following a death or relocation may be treated separately under the code, but routine resale of merchandise is not permitted regardless of frequency.
Exceeding the annual limit or running sales beyond the allowed days can result in summonses, fines, and zoning enforcement for unlawful commercial use.
