Garage sales in Licking County must not turn a yard into blight. In Newark and the cities, merchandise, tables and signs have to come off public view after the sale, and leftover clutter can draw a property-maintenance citation.
The concern after a sale is the mess it leaves behind. Newark and the other cities apply their property-maintenance and sign codes to yard sales: goods and display tables must be cleared from public view once sale hours end each day, unsold items cannot be left heaped at the curb, and sale signs must come down promptly. A property that repeatedly stays cluttered after sales can draw a blight complaint. In the townships there is usually no sale-cleanup ordinance, but if leftover goods and debris accumulate, the condition can still be abated as a nuisance under the township's authority. Either way, clean up the same day.
In the cities, goods or debris left out after a sale can draw a property-maintenance citation, and un-removed signs a sign-code fine. In the townships, accumulated leftovers can be abated as a nuisance.
