Yard sales must not leave a property looking blighted. Merchandise, tables, and signs have to come down when the sale ends, and unsold goods cannot linger in the yard or at the curb afterward.
Williamson County and its cities expect a yard sale to leave no lasting mess. During the sale, goods should be displayed in an orderly way; once it ends, tables, racks, and unsold merchandise must be removed from public view rather than left in the front yard or dragged to the curb. Advertising signs must come down promptly — Franklin and Brentwood both restrict where sale signs may go and require their removal after the event. A property that repeatedly accumulates visible clutter from sales can draw a nuisance or property-maintenance citation under the county's authority to abate debris.
Leaving unsold items, tables, or signs out after a sale can bring a property-maintenance or nuisance citation. Under Tenn. Code Ann. § 5-1-115, the county can order cleanup and lien the property for abatement costs.
