As the warm weather approaches, residents of Great Barrington and Housatonic are reminded to obtain a Tag Sale Permit from the Town Clerk's Office for hosting tag sales. This permit allows residents to hold two tag sales per year, each for up to two consecutive days. Applicants must visit the Town Clerk’s Office in person during office hours to apply.

The permit costs $5.00 and is non-refundable. The Town Clerk's Office is open from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday, and closes for lunch from 1:00 pm to 1:30 pm. For questions, residents can call (413) 528-1619, pressing 2 then 1.

After receiving the permit, it must be displayed visibly at the tag sale location. The town also has rules for tag sale signs. Sellers should use tape to attach signs to telephone poles and remove all signs within 24 hours after the sale ends.

This permit system regulates tag sales, ensuring they are orderly and comply with local standards. It helps maintain the community's appearance and prevents nuisances.
