Yard Sale Permit and Map

THE FIRST FRIDAY & SATURDAY IN JUNE HAS BEEN DESIGNATED AS FREE YARD SALE DAYS - NO PERMIT IS NEEDED FOR THESE TWO DAYS.

 Yard sales can be a great way to de-clutter your home while bringing in some extra money. Yet, a poorly planned sale can be much more work than it's worth. Organizing a yard sale starts with planning and preparation to ensure a smooth, stress-free, and profitable sale.

Helpful suggestions:

Check your city's yard sale listings in the weeks before your sale. Look in the local newspaper and on our website yard sale map. Get familiar with the typical starting times in the area, and schedule yours at the earliest of those times. Even better, schedule it to start 15 minutes earlier. Serious yard sale shoppers plan their routes in advance, and they aim to be the first shopper at every sale. If your sale starts a little earlier than the rest, you'll be their first stop.

Check with friends, family members, and neighbors to see if they'd like to make it a neighborhood sale.  Savvy yard sale shoppers prioritize those listed as multi-family, block, or neighborhood sales—especially the latter. Who knows, you might even start a new neighborhood tradition.

Avoid Common Pitfalls

A number of common mistakes can cost you time and money, which defeats the purpose of having a yard sale. The biggest key to success is knowing when to schedule your sale to attract the most buyers. There are some days and times you will definitely want to avoid.

Don't schedule a yard sale for an "off" day; Friday and Saturday are traditional yard sale days.   Don't schedule your yard sale on Labor or Memorial Day weekends. If the Fourth of July falls between Friday and Monday, avoid having your sale on that weekend as well. Though you'll still have some shoppers, many folks schedule trips or family events on holiday weekends. On the other hand, if you live in a vacation-friendly location, you might want to schedule your event for those holidays because travelers love to shop.

Don't set a starting time that's later than other yard sales in the area. By the time your sale starts, your potential customers may be out of both steam and cash.
