Batesburg-Leesville council waives yard-sale permit fee on Highway 23 for Peach Tree 23 event
Summary
At a May 29 special meeting the Batesburg-Leesville Town Council adopted a resolution waiving the $5 yard-sale permit fee for the Peach Tree 23 event on Highway 23 for June 6-7, 2025; the waiver applies only to the 23 corridor and was approved by roll call.
The Batesburg-Leesville Town Council on May 29 approved a one-time resolution waiving the $5 yard-sale permit fee for yard sales on Highway 23 connected to the Peach Tree 23 event scheduled for June 6-7, 2025.
Council members voted by roll call; the transcript records affirmative votes from Districts 1, 2, 4, 6, 7 and 8 and the mayor, and the motion carried. Council moved to adopt the measure and proceeded to adjourn the special meeting after the vote.
Town officials clarified the waiver applies only to locations on the Highway 23 corridor during those two days; yard sales held elsewhere in town would still be required to purchase the standard $5 permit. A council member asked what would happen if a yard sale were held on a side street such as Raw Drive, and officials confirmed sales off the corridor remain subject to the regular ordinance and fee.
The resolution was presented as a corridor-specific, event-focused administrative action and did not change the town's permit ordinance beyond the two-day waiver tied to Peach Tree 23. The council adjourned the special meeting after taking the action.
