TIPP CITY - As this is the season for garage and yard sales, the Tipp City Zoning Department would like to remind citizens of the city’s zoning rules regarding garage/yard sales and signage.

 

Three garage sales per year are permitted at any residential location, without a permit. Provide a one month interval between each sale. Each garage sale is limited to four consecutive days in length from start to finish. Public auctions and moving sales are permitted for one week per calendar year.

 

No food or beverage may be offered for consumption on the premises, excepting if a permit is obtained in advance from the Board of Health.

 

One garage/yard sale sign is allowed on the property where the sale is being held. Two are allowed only if it is a corner lot. The maximum size of the sign is four square-feet and the maximum height is three feet above the ground. Off-premise directional type signs are prohibited. Signs are not allowed in the curb lawn areas or attached to utility poles or traffic signs. Signs placed in such areas are subject to removal without notification. No balloons, streamers, special lighting or noise making devices may be used to call attention to the sale.

 

For more information call the Zoning office at 667-6305.
