Whether you need a permit turns on your Gloucester County town. Washington Township requires a garage sale license from the Township Clerk before any sale. Gloucester Township licenses each sale too. Glassboro's community-wide sale day needs none.
Permits are a municipal device in Gloucester County. Washington Township, under Chapter 104, makes it unlawful to conduct a garage sale without first filing with the Township Clerk and obtaining a garage sale license. Gloucester Township likewise issues a license and holds each to no more than four days within twelve months. Glassboro organizes a free borough-wide community yard sale that requires only sign-up, no permit. 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 Washington Township and Gloucester Township. Where no permit is required, there is none to violate.
