Converse requires residents to obtain a garage sale permit from City Hall before holding a sale. Permits limit the number of sales per address per year and restrict sale duration to consecutive days.
To prevent unpermitted retail activity in residential neighborhoods, Converse requires garage sale permits for most yard, garage, and estate sales. Permits are typically issued at City Hall for a small fee (often 5 to 10 dollars) and limit each address to a capped number of sales per calendar year (commonly 2 to 4) and a maximum duration per event (usually up to 3 consecutive days). The permit number must be posted visibly at the sale location during operating hours. Permit applications require the applicant's name, address, and planned sale dates. Estate sales handled by professional companies, multi-family sales organized by an HOA, and charitable sales may have separate registration paths. Operating a sale without a permit, exceeding the annual cap, or selling on non-permitted days is a code violation that can result in the sale being shut down and fines. Hours are limited to daylight (7 AM to dusk).
