Murfreesboro requires no permit for yard sales, but the Zoning Ordinance allows only up to four one-day yard sales per calendar year. Excessive sales are treated as commercial activity, which is not permitted in residential areas.
The City's Resident Information Sheet explains that the Murfreesboro Zoning Ordinance caps residents at up to four one-day yard sales per calendar year. The days may be used together or spread out, for example four one-day events or two two-day events. Running more sales can be deemed commercial activity, which is prohibited in residential zones. No yard-sale permit is required. In unincorporated Rutherford County, no county permit applies; check county zoning for any sign or frequency limits.
A violation of the Zoning Ordinance is punishable by up to a $50 fine, and each day's continuance is a separate offense.
