Ridgewood Village restricts garage sale advertising signs to a maximum of two on the property hosting the sale, with each sign capped at four square feet, alongside required permits.
Chapter 163 of the Village of Ridgewood Code requires a permit from the Village Clerk before conducting any garage sale, with a $5 permit fee. The ordinance limits sign advertising to no more than two signs on the premises where the sale occurs, and each sign must not exceed four square feet in size. Permits are valid for up to two consecutive days, and no person or premises may host more than two garage sales in any calendar year. The license must be prominently displayed at the sale throughout its duration.
Conducting a garage sale without a permit, posting more than two signs, exceeding the four-square-foot size limit, or running unauthorized off-premises signs may result in code enforcement action and fines.
