There shall be a limit of two separate three-day garage sale, tag sale or yard sale permits per year.
Sales shall be between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. only.
The permit is automatically revoked should any Village of Red Hook police officer, any other police officer empowered by the State of New York or a Village official state in writing that the garage sale, tag sale or yard sale is creating an unsafe traffic condition.
The application fee shall be $5.
Local churches, which often hold such sales in their parking lot, would be affected by this chapter as well, and subject to the same regulations as private individuals. Local churches would be exempt from the regulations during community celebrations.
