Garfield requires a $10 permit for every garage sale, limits residents to four sales per calendar year, requires the permit to be displayed on the premises, and has the police department issue permits on the day of the sale.
Garfield's Garage Sales chapter prohibits any garage sale without first obtaining a permit. The fee is $10, and the application must list the name and address of the person or organization conducting the sale, the property owner, the responsible person in charge, the dates and number of days of the sale, and the dates and locations of any previous sales by the applicant in the same calendar year. No person may conduct more than four garage sales in a calendar year. The permit must be prominently displayed on the premises throughout the entire sale and is picked up at the Garfield Police Department on the day of the sale. Bona fide charitable, eleemosynary, educational, cultural, or governmental organizations are exempt from the fee but must still apply for a permit.
Holding a garage sale without a permit, exceeding four permitted sales in one calendar year, failing to display the permit on the premises during the sale, or omitting required information from the application.
