RULES AND REGULATIONS IN EACH BOROUGH
FOR TAG SALES, GARAGE SALES & YARD SALES

UPDATED SEPTEMBER 2011

I've contacted each of the nine municipalities in the Pascack Valley to find out what rules and regulations they have for sales at private residences. Three of the boroughs (Hillsdale, River Vale and Woodcliff Lake) require permits for sales, the rest do not.

All the boroughs ask that you observe basic rules about signs: Don't put them up too far before the sale, don't put them on utility poles, don't put them in the roadway where they can obstruct traffic, and take them down right after the sale is over.

Below you'll find contact information for each municipal office, as well as any rules they ask you to observe. As this information is subject to change, call your borough clerk if you have questions!
