<div>Dwight,</div><div> </div><div>There is no permit requirement for a standard yardsale, in part because if you do it more than twice a year you have to collect sales tax. On those occasions that you allude to the threat of the state taxman is more powerful than anything we are likely to do. When you suspect ongoing yard sales please contact code directly as they are best positioned to investigate and inform the state.</div>

Excellent question, Todd. Thanks for asking! They are certainly an eyesore. Tangentially, some of the handwritten signs for "yard sales" make me think that yard sales have become a sideline business rather than a way to occasionally clear out the attic/garage junk - does the town require permits for yard sales as I know Hyattsville does?<div>

<div>and then saw those stupid signs advertising people who want to buy my junk cars for 300 bucks. I typically just pull them down when I see them, but get tired of seeing them clutter up the telephone poles and just generally making the community look trashy.</div>
