Nassau County garage sales are regulated at the town and village level, with most requiring a permit, limits of 2 to 4 sales per year per address, and hours typically 9 AM to 6 PM. No countywide ordinance exists.
Town of Hempstead Code Chapter 94 requires a garage sale permit, issued free or for a nominal 10 to 25 dollar fee, limits sales to 2 per calendar year per address, and restricts duration to 3 consecutive days. Town of North Hempstead and Town of Oyster Bay have comparable ordinances. Villages like Garden City and Rockville Centre impose stricter limits often 2 per year, 2 days each, with sign rules requiring removal within 24 hours of sale end. Sales held without permits or exceeding the frequency limit can be deemed illegal retail use in a residential zone.
Operating without a permit or exceeding frequency limits: 50 to 250 dollars first offense, higher for repeat. Zoning violations for chronic sales: up to 1,000 dollars.
