As the weather warms up, yard sales have become increasingly popular. While they are a great way to declutter and find new homes for unwanted items, it's important to remember that there are City regulations that govern how yard sales are conducted.

Permits are required to hold a yard sale. These can be obtained at City Hall for a fee of $5. A residential premises shall not hold a garage/yard sale more than THREE times per year and each sale shall not continue more than three consecutive days.

Anyone planning to hold a yard sale must get a permit. This helps prevent people from using yard sales to run unlicensed businesses and ensures a fair and level playing field for everyone in the community caring also for community businesses.

Enjoy yard selling and we will all do our parts.

SPANISH:

Con la llegada de la buena temperatura, las ventas de garaje se han vuelto cada vez más populares. Si bien son una excelente manera de ordenar y encontrar un nuevo hogar para los artículos no deseados, es importante recordar que existen regulaciones municipales que rigen su funcionamiento.

Se requieren permisos para realizar una venta de garaje. Estos se pueden obtener en el Ayuntamiento por una tarifa de $5. Una vivienda no podrá realizar una venta de garaje/jardín más de TRES veces al año y cada venta no podrá durar más de tres días consecutivos.

Cualquier persona que planee realizar una venta de garaje debe obtener un permiso. Esto ayuda a evitar que las personas utilicen las ventas de garaje para operar negocios sin licencia y garantiza una igualdad de condiciones para todos en la comunidad, cuidando también de los negocios comunitarios.

Disfrute de las ventas de garaje y todos haremos nuestra parte.
