Paramus residents must obtain a Borough Clerk license to hold a garage sale, limited to two permits per household per year and three consecutive days each.
Chapter 256 defines garage sales to include any casual sale of tangible personal property, including yard sales, lawn sales, and tag sales, sponsored by a homeowner on the homeowner's premises. A license issued by the Borough Clerk is required and is valid for not more than three consecutive calendar days. Each license remains valid for 30 days from issuance; after that period, the homeowner must apply again. The fee is $15 and homeowners are limited to two garage sale permits per year. Holding a sale without a license, or violating the chapter's terms, subjects the seller to penalties on conviction.
Operating an unlicensed garage sale, exceeding the two-per-year limit, or running longer than three days can result in summons, fines, and order to cease.
