Norfolk County does not regulate garage sale property maintenance. Each town enforces property maintenance bylaws and the State Sanitary Code (105 CMR 410) to prevent yard sale blight.
Garage sale property maintenance in Norfolk County is municipal. Each town applies general property maintenance bylaws and the State Sanitary Code 105 CMR 410 to ensure yard sales do not create blight. Merchandise must be displayed in an organized manner; tables, racks, and items must be removed or stored out of public view by end of sale hours each day. Unsold items left curbside between sale days or after the sale ends can trigger blight or junk citations under local bylaws. Signs must be removed within 24-48 hours of sale end per local sign codes. Properties with recurring visible clutter may receive nuisance citations under MGL c. 111 Β§122 (local board of health).
No county enforcement. Municipal items left out: $50-$200 blight citation. Signs not removed: $25-$50. Repeat: escalating fines; possible MGL c. 111 Β§122 nuisance abatement.
