Ordinance is expected to go into effect May 30
DEARBORN – The City Council voted May 21 to approve an update to an ordinance to allow four garage sales per year. Previously, the ordinance had only allowed for residents to host two.
“We know that there are those out there that wanted to do more than two in the course of year,” said City Clerk George Darany, who proposed the changes. “So now they’ve got the opportunity to do three or four.”
Under the revised ordinance, the cost of the first garage sale is now $10, and the second is $15. The cost for the newly added opportunity for the third sale is $20, and $25 for the fourth.
The new ordinance is expected to go into effect on May 30.
Residents wishing to host a garage sale must obtain a permit from the City Clerk’s Office. For more information on how to obtain a permit, contact the City Clerk’s Office at 313-943-2010.
