[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Aldermen
(now City Council) of the City of Chicopee 12-18-2007 by Ord. No. 07-84.[1] Amendments noted where applicable.]
[1]
This ordinance provided for an effective date
of 3-31-2008.
For the purposes of this chapter, a "tag sale,"
"cellar sale," "garage sale," "lawn sale," "rummage sale," "attic
sale," "yard sale," "estate sale" or its equivalent shall be defined
as the sale of new or used items offered for sale, barter, or trade
to the general public when conducted in whole or in part in a residential
zone.
All tag sales/yard sales as hereinabove defined
shall be held for no more then a continuous seventy-two-hour period
and the sale hours shall be limited to 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. All
items for sale must be removed at the conclusion of the seventy-two-hour
period and secured in the owner's primary residence.
A tag sale/yard sale as hereinabove defined
may be conducted only from the owner's primary residence or from the
primary location of the nonprofit organization. No more than three
tag sales may be conducted from the same residence per calendar year
in a residential zone. More than three tag sales would violate the

be removed at the end of the seventy-two-hour period.
The Building Inspector's office as the Zoning
office shall enforce this chapter.
