Residents accustomed to buying a garage sale permit for $4 now will pay
$15 for that permit and be asked to be aware of new rules for holding garage
sales.
The increase in the price of a garage sale permit is one of several budget
changes that became effective today with the beginning of the City's new
fiscal year. The increase will support increased enforcement of
unpermitted garage sales.
Garage sale permits can be purchased at one of the City's four Community
Link Service Centers (Las Palmas Shopping Center, Suite
132, 803 Castroville Road; McCreless Mall, 4100 S. New Braunfels; South
Park Mall, 2310 S.W. Military; and Valley View Shopping Center, 8523
Blanco Road), at the City's One-Stop Development and Business Services
Center, 1901 S. Alamo, or at any H.E.B. store.
Three garage sales will be allowed per residential address each calendar
year, instead of two in previous years. However, only one garage sale is
permitted every three months. Hours of garage sales are restricted to 9:00
a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and should not exceed two consecutive days. Other rules
apply to placement of signs that advertise garage sales as well as items
allowed to be sold at garage sales.
Code Compliance officers will enforce these rules. Violations are subject
to a fine of up to $50 for the first two convictions and up to $500 for
each additional conviction. |
