Sale Permit is Free & Simple!
Garage sales in Palmetto Bay must be permitted. Applying for a permit is quick, simple and free of charge. Owners wishing to have a garage sale must submit a permit application to the Department of Community Development.
Applications are available online or at Village Hall. Completed applications may be faxed, mailed or dropped off in person. The contact information is provided below for your benefit.
Advertising Garage Sales
Permitted garage sales will be advertised on the Village web site prior to the sale. This service is provided free of charge to Palmetto Bay residents. We must receive your application by the Wednesday prior to the scheduled garage sale date in order to list the sale on the Village web site (or submit your notice a couple weeks in advance, if you wish). New garage sales are posted on the web site by FRIDAY. Descriptions of items are taken directly from the application and are therefore listed exactly as they appear on the application.
