Garage sale rules come from each community, not the county. Brockton requires a residential Yard Sale Permit from the City Clerk, limits sales to 2 days per calendar year at $5 per day, and bars signs on city poles, street signs, and sidewalks.
No county authority governs yard sales; the controls are municipal. Brockton is the strictest of the six communities: a resident planning a yard or garage sale must obtain a Yard Sale Permit from the City Clerk's Office before the event, sales are capped at two days per calendar year, the fee is $5.00 per day, and a rain date may be listed. Brockton also prohibits affixing sale signs to city property such as telephone poles, street signs, and sidewalks. Plymouth, Marshfield, Scituate, Duxbury, and Wareham are lighter touch, generally allowing residential sales without a permit but enforcing sign placement and noise through general bylaws.
Holding a Brockton sale without a permit, exceeding two days a year, or posting signs on city property violates the ordinance and draws a City Clerk citation and sign removal.
