Yard sales, garage sales, and similar events are regulated as Special Sales under the Town of Wasaga Beach Business Licensing By-law. A Special Sale includes any retail sale advertised using terms such as yard sale, garage sale, estate sale, moving sale, or similar expressions.
Special Sales are permitted only between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM, and each property is limited to two (2) Special Sale licenses per calendar year. All items must be displayed on private property and must be set back at least 20 feet from the roadway or street line.
For neighbourhood sales, one permit may be issued with a single fee, provided a list of all participating properties is submitted. Fees do not apply to Town-sanctioned events or charitable sales of limited duration; however, charitable events must submit a letter outlining the intent of the sale in advance.
Failure to comply with these requirements may result in enforcement under the Business Licensing By-law.
