2. What do I need in order to have a garage sale?

Though a permit from the Village is not required for garage sales, a garage sale must comply with the following requirement:

• The Winnetka Sign Ordinance prohibits the display of garage sale signs on premises other than those on which the sale is conducted. This restriction includes street light and utility poles, as well as public parkways. The code allows only one temporary sign no larger than 8 square feet which must be placed on the property where the sale is taking place.
