With the spring season underway,
West Side residents may consider having garage or yard sales to get rid of
their junk during spring cleaning.
Residents can have up to three
garage or yard sales before being required to purchase a permit for any further
yard sale, said Noemi Santiago, representative for David Rivera, Niagara
District Common Council Member.
Each permit will cost around $10
to $15. There also are restrictions on signs
for garage sales, said Brad Hamm, representative for Michael Locurto, Delaware
District Common Council Member.
“Garage sale signs can go up no more
than two days prior to the sale and they have to be taken down at the close of
the sale,” Hamm said.
Hamm also said that no more than six
signs per sale are allowed to be put up.
Santiago said that if a neighborhood inspector
notices a resident hosting more than three sales without a permit, that
resident could be forced to pay a fine. By Katie Anderson and Danielle Wayne
