Streetsboro council rejects yard sale crackdown

- Wendy DiAlesandro

Streetsboro council unanimously scrapped proposed legislation that would regulate garage, yard and household sales in the city. The legislation stated that the sales, and others of a similar nature, “take place in such a manner and time so as to detract from the character of residential areas.”

Failure to comply with the regulations would have resulted in a minor misdemeanor charge on the first offense. If a person pleaded guilty to, or was found guilty of, additional charges within a year, that person would have faced fourth-degree misdemeanor charges.
