What are the rules respecting Garage Sales and signage?
“Rules respecting Garage/Yard Sales are found in the Zoning Bylaw, Bylaw No. 1 of 1987. The general rules are as follows: • Sale must be conducted by the resident of the dwelling in a Residential or Institutional zone, or • A non-profit group associated with a place of worship, public school, community association or similar group or organization. • No more than three (3) sales may be conducted on any site in any one calendar year and no sale may last more than three (3) consecutive days. • Signs respecting garage/yard sales may not be placed or posted on public property, public highways, or any building, equipment, or utility structure within public property unless authorized by Council. This includes boulevards, curb-side trees, street light standards, public signage, public mail boxes, and intersections. The Bylaw Enforcement Unit continues to receive an abundance of complaints respecting garage/yard sale signage during the spring and summer months.
