Fair Lawn requires residents to obtain a garage sale permit from the borough clerk and limits the number, duration, and signage of sales each year.
Chapter 188, Garage Sales, requires a permit before holding any garage, yard, or tag sale. Residents are limited to a set number of sales per calendar year, typically two, each lasting no more than three consecutive days. Sales hours are restricted to daytime, and only items belonging to the household may be sold. Signs may be posted on the property only, must be removed promptly after the sale, and may not be affixed to utility poles, street signs, or trees.
Sales without a permit or with prohibited signage are punishable by fines up to $500 per violation.
