Whether you need a permit turns on your Atlantic County town. Egg Harbor Township requires a $5 permit from the Township Clerk before any sale. Brigantine requires a City Clerk license. Ventnor issues two per property yearly.
Permits are a municipal device in Atlantic County. Egg Harbor Township, under Chapter 67, makes it unlawful to hold a sale without first obtaining a $5 permit from the Township Clerk, with the applicant naming the dates and merchandise. Brigantine likewise requires a City Clerk license before a sale. Ventnor issues residents two permits per property a year, on top of its once-a-year citywide sale day. Because the county has no role in licensing yard sales, the only permit that matters is the one your municipality requires, obtained from your town clerk before the sale.
Holding a sale without the required license is a municipal ordinance violation carrying a fine in towns like Egg Harbor Township and Brigantine. Where a citywide sale day applies, no separate permit is needed.
