The Law

To prevent neighborhoods from turning into permanent flea markets, the state limits how long residents can legally run a yard sale. Homeowners who perpetually sold junk from their lawns were causing parking issues and angering neighbors. This law ensures residential areas remain residential rather than becoming impromptu commercial zones.
