Garage Sale Permits

Guidelines

Garage sales are a supported activity and are a common occurrence in Midlothian as well as in other communities. Residents are requested to follow some simple guidelines required by the Village of Midlothian:

Any person who conducts a garage sale within the Village of Midlothian must first obtain a garage sale permit. Come to Village Hall before your sale to request a permit.

The cost of a garage sale permit is $5 per event.
