(A) For the purpose of this section, YARD SALE shall mean an occasional sale at which surplus, and primarily used, household goods and/or clothing are sold. In cases where such sales are conducted on the same property more than six days per calendar year, or in cases when new, or used, merchandise purchases for resale are resold, it shall be deemed a flea market and not a YARD SALE.
(B) It shall be unlawful for any person to conduct, or permit to be conducted, on his or her property in the town, more than six yard sales per calendar year, with each yard sale limited to one 24-hour day.
(C) A permit must be issued to the property owner by the Code Enforcement Officer, and must be posted in a highly visible place at the yard sale. All apparatus, racks, shelves, tables, signs, and other appurtenances associated with the sale shall be removed the same day as the sale.
(D) Flea markets are not permitted. For the purposes of this section, a
FLEA MARKET is any commercial market where individual vendors sell a variety of inexpensive goods or secondhand items, either indoors or outdoors. This definition does not include antique malls operating within a fully enclosed space; events that occur once a year, such as a church bazaar or town-sponsored festival; or yard sales, as described above.
