In unincorporated Jefferson Parish, garage and rummage sales are regulated under Chapter 30 (Sales). Residents obtain a garage-sale permit through the Citizens' Affairs office or the online permit portal; the permit limits how often and how long you may sell.
Jefferson Parish treats residential garage/rummage sales as regulated sales under Chapter 30 of the Code of Ordinances. A garage-sale permit is issued through Citizens' Affairs and the parish's online permit portal, and it caps the number and duration of sales a household may hold each year and restricts signage. The permit exists to keep occasional yard sales from becoming unlicensed ongoing retail in residential zones. Verify the current per-year limit and fee with Citizens' Affairs before advertising. Inside incorporated cities (Kenner, Gretna, Harahan, Westwego, Grand Isle), that city's own garage-sale rules apply instead.
Selling without the required permit, or exceeding the allowed number/duration, is a code violation subject to citation and fine.
