In Louisville, there is no permit required to hold yard sale. However, there are guidelines for placing yard or garage sale signs to advertise your sale.

It is customary to place signs around town to advertise the event. Generally, residents place signs improperly which leads others to believe, incorrectly, that signs can be placed anywhere. If the signs are improperly placed they are subject to removal or you may receive a visit from a Code Enforcement Officer to inform you of your improper sign.

Signs are not to be posted:

on any post or pole, including utility pole or traffic sign pole on any fence or tree in any public right-of-way, including all medians as part of the street on any street or sidewalk on any car, truck, trailer or other personal vehicle as a method of advertising or directing the public to your yard sale on any City Property, including parks, park paths, open space, open space paths, trails or fields.

Garage and yard sale signs are ONLY allowed on private property. You may place signs in yards, but please remember to ask permission of the property owner or occupant if you want to place your sign in their yard.

If you would like more information about yard sale signs please contact Louisville Code Enforcement at 303.441.4444.

Have a safe and prosperous yard sale.
