Garfield Chapter 161 requires a permit before holding any garage sale, limits each address to four sales per calendar year, and requires the issued permit to be visibly displayed on the premises during the sale.
Under City of Garfield Chapter 161, no person may conduct a garage, attic, rummage, or similar casual sale without first obtaining a permit from the City Clerk for a $10 fee. Sales are capped at four per person and four per address per calendar year. The permit itself must be prominently displayed at the sale location for the duration of the event. Off-premises advertising signs are governed separately by Chapter 341 (Zoning, Article X), which prohibits signs projecting over streets, sidewalks, or other public ways. Each day of noncompliance counts as a separate violation.
Operating without a permit, exceeding four sales annually, failing to display the permit, or posting signs on public rights-of-way.
