Garage Sale permit flier
This spring don't forget to get a permit before your next garage sale
Before you host your next garage sale make sure you understand the City of Cleburne's rules and regulations for a safe event.

The city's garage sale regulations protect the health and safety of our community and neighborhoods.

One of the requirements is that residents must obtain a garage sale permit before any sale event. Permits cost $7.50 from the Utility Billing office. Residents can obtain up to two garage sale permits per residential location within a 12-month period.
