Yard sales run during daytime hours only, dawn to dusk, and signs must come down when the sale ends. Sales cannot spill into early morning or nighttime, and advertising on public poles is prohibited.
Essex County communities confine yard sales to daylight hours and to the permitted days on the permit. Sales are residential and time-limited, so setting up before dawn or running after dark violates the permit. Directional signs cannot be attached to utility poles, street signs, or sidewalks, and must be removed promptly once the sale ends. Blocking sidewalks or the street with merchandise or parking is also barred.
Selling outside permitted daytime hours or days, leaving signs up after the sale, or posting signs on city property brings warnings and fines.
