Paramus restricts all garage and yard sales to operate only between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., with signage permitted on the day of the sale during the same authorized hours.
Chapter 256 of the Paramus Borough Code limits garage sale operating hours to 8:00 a.m. through 6:00 p.m. Sellers may not begin setup transactions earlier or extend a sale past 6:00 p.m. Signs advertising the sale are authorized only on the day of the sale and only during the permitted hours, and must be removed promptly when the sale ends. Sunday sales are also subject to Chapter 391 (Sunday Activities) where applicable. Enforcement is shared between the Paramus Police Department and the Quality of Life Officer, who memorialize findings in formal reports.
Operating outside permitted hours or leaving signs posted in violation of Chapter 256 carries penalties under § 1-15: fines up to $2,000, community service, or up to 90 days imprisonment.
