FAQ
Garage and Yard Sales
  • chevron_rightGarage Sales: Are there restrictions?
    You may hold up to two garage/yard sales each year. If you hold a sale as a part of the Windham Hill neighborhood publicized sales (Spring and Fall), these count towards your two allowed sales. Merchandise sold at garage and yard sales must be items that you have owned or be items from your home. The frequency and restrictions on items sold are governed by Overland Park code. You may view Overland Park's garage sale guidelines by clicking here.
     
    Thanks for observing these guidelines and helping to maintain the standards of our neighborhood.
