The Town of Wellesley requires that anyone wishing to hold a yard/garage sale, estate sales, rummage sales, and flea markets must have a permit that is issued by the town. Permits are issued for up to two consecutive days. There can be one sale per location during a calendar year.

Fees range from $5 for the first garage/yard sale; $15 for rummage sales or flea markets; $20 for an estate sale. Hmmm. I think the estate sale I was planning just turned into a plain old yard sale.
