Questions about the Town Wide Yard Sale

The Town of Abingdon has received several questions regarding the Town Wide Yard Sale that will be held on Saturday, September 15, 2018. We would like to address and answer those questions for you to eliminate further confusion.

1.      Where will the Town Wide Yard Sale be located?

We are encouraging residents and property owners to hold yard sales throughout the town on September 15, 2018. The person holding the yard sale will need to obtain a permit at no cost on that day. We will compile a list of addresses/neighborhoods from the permits and post that information on the Facebook event the week before the yard sale.

2.      Where are the town limits?

The Town of Abingdon is 8.2 square miles. We have attached a map to this information to clarify where the town limits start (Exit 14 area) and where they stop (Exit 19 area). If you are holding a yard sale within the town limits, you must obtain a yard sale permit for September 15, 2018.

3.      Where can I set up a yard sale if I am not in the town limits?

You are welcome to set up a yard sale anywhere within the town limits, at a church, organization/business, etc. As long as you have coordinated it with the private property owner and obtained a yard sale permit.

4.      Where can I get a yard sale permit?

You can fill one out at the Town Municipal Building (133 West Main Street, Abingdon, VA) or you can print one on the town website- https://abingdon-va.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Town-Of-Abingdon.pdf and return it to the Municipal Building.
