Rainout Policy

If a property owner or tenant has purchased a garage sale permit, and the majority of the scheduled dates for the sale are affected by rain or other inclement weather, as determined by city staff, a rain-out permit may be issued at no cost provided the property owner or tenant returns the sign originally issued as the permit. The new permit must be issued within thirty (30) days of the date of the original permit. If the permit was issued for two (2) or three (3) days and the rain or inclement weather affects only one (1) day during the permit period, a rain-out permit shall not be issued
