One is required to have a permit for a yard sale in the City of Haverhill. There is no cost for Churches. For all others, the fee is $5.00 per day and the limit is 2 consecutive days per yard sale and 2 yard sales per address per calendar year. A permit can be obtained by in person during normal business hours, or by payment online. As we forward the list of all yard sale permits to the Police Department by 4pm on Friday, be sure you come in and get your permit before that time or order at least 2 days ahead when ordering online. Make sure to order online by Thursday AM for a weekend yardsale so that we may issue your yard sale permit in a timely manner for you to receive via email. - If you do not have a permit in your possession, you may be subject to a fine.
