Fair Lawn requires a garage sale permit and limits the number, size, and placement of garage sale signs, prohibiting signs on public property and utility poles within the borough.
The borough regulates residential garage and yard sales through its licensing and sign provisions. Residents must obtain a permit from the Borough Clerk before holding a sale, with limits on the number of sales per household per year. Temporary directional signs are allowed only on private property with the owner's consent and must be removed promptly after the sale. Signs nailed to trees, attached to utility poles, or placed in the public right-of-way are prohibited and subject to removal by the borough.
Unpermitted sales and improperly placed signs can result in summonses, fines, and removal of signs by code enforcement at the violator's expense.
