Bergenfield requires residents to obtain a Building Department permit costing five dollars before holding a garage or yard sale at their property.
Bergenfield residents must purchase a garage sale permit from the Borough Building Department before conducting any yard or garage sale. The permit costs $5.00 and is valid for two consecutive sale days. To apply, residents call the Building Department at (201) 387-4055 ext. 4092 or use the Garage Sale Application Form from the Borough website. The permit ensures sales are tracked and remain within the per-household limits set by the Borough.
Holding a garage sale in Bergenfield without first obtaining the $5 Building Department permit, or extending a sale beyond the two consecutive days authorized, can result in code enforcement action and forfeiture of remaining annual permit slots.
