Dearborn Changes Ordinance On Garage, Yard Sales
Residents can now host double the amount of yard or garage sales this year, thanks to a vote by Dearborn City Council.
DEARBORN, MI— Dearborn residents can look forward to clearing out their home of any extra clutter and getting a little extra spending money more frequently this year.
On May 21, the Dearborn City Council voted to approve an update to an ordinance to allow four garage sales per year. Previously, the ordinance had only allowed for residents to host two.
“We know that there are those out there that wanted to do more than two in the course of year,” City Clerk George Darany said. “So now they’ve got the opportunity to do three or four.”
