When any persons, group of persons, corporation, business, etc., plan
on selling personal objects by displaying the objects on property owned by
themselves or others, whether inside or outside, a permit, on a form issued
by the Franklin Township Municipal Committee, must be issued authorizing the
yard sale, garage sale, tag sale or flea market, etc., prior to the event
taking place.
Each permit application must contain the following information:
A. The name and address of the resident/residents, corporation,
business, etc., applying for the permit.
B. The exact location and/or locations of the yard sale,
garage sale, tag sale or flea market, etc.
C. The dates of the proposed yard sale, garage sale, tag
sale or flea market, etc.
Upon issuance, each permit will set forth a two- to three-day period
during which the yard sale, garage sale, tag sale or flea market, etc., may
take place, and, if applied for, the permit may set forth rain dates.
If the yard sale, garage sale, tag sale or flea market, etc., is to
be conducted out of doors, the permit may restrict the hours of the sale to
daylight hours only.
The permit will also dictate that all yard sale, garage sale, tag sale
or flea market items, tables, displays and/or signs be removed within four
hours from the end of the event.
No garage sale, yard sale, tag sale or flea market may impede or cause
a disruption to motor vehicle traffic, pedestrian traffic and/or neighborhood
parking.
Each resident, corporation, business, etc., will be limited to four
permits per calendar year.
