Danielsville council holds first reading of yard-sale ordinance; notification required, sales limited
Summary
Mayor Michael Wideman presented a yard-sale ordinance at first reading that would require residents to notify city officials of sales (no permit required) and limit each residence to three yard sales within a six-month period; council will consider follow-up and enforcement details in a later meeting.
At the April 28 work session, Mayor Michael Wideman presented a proposed yard-sale ordinance for first reading. The draft states that no permit will be required for yard sales inside city limits but that city officials should be notified when a sale will take place; it also limits each residence to no more than three yard sales in a six-month period and includes several other stipulations.
Council reviewed the ordinance language during the meeting but took no final action; this was recorded as the ordinance’s first reading. The transcript does not specify enforcement mechanisms, penalties or when a second reading would be scheduled. Mayor Wideman and council members agreed on the basic limits and directed staff to proceed with the normal ordinance-process steps.
Next steps: The ordinance will return for further consideration at a future meeting when council may address enforcement language and adopt or amend the text.
