9-103 : Public rummage sales.
- For the purposes of this section, the term "public rummage sale" is defined as a sale that is organized or operated for charitable, religious, community or educational purposes and which is conducted by an organization, corporation, church, civic club, etc., where members of the group donate or solicit items for the organization to sell from the organization's location for the purpose of raising money for use by themselves or others. For the purpose of this section, "sale" means either a cash transaction or the giving away of items in return for a donation.
- Not more than two (2) outdoor public rummage sales may be held during any calendar year at any one (1) location, the duration of the sale may not exceed three (3) days; and, provided further, that before any such sale may be held an application to hold said sale must be made by an officer or authorized representative of said organization.
- Indoor public rummage sales may be held no more than once a month for no more than two (2) consecutive days, as long as no goods are displayed out of doors.
- A public rummage sale must be held on property that is used primarily for non-residential purposes. Organizations that do not have their own physical location may apply for a public rummage sale permit on an independently owned site with the property owner's written permission as part of the application.
- Any site proposed for a public rummage sale must have adequate area to allow for the outdoor display of goods, if any, and enough parking to accommodate customers without creating traffic congestion on adjoining streets and rights-of-way. (1999 Code, § 9-103)
