Effective May 1, 2016, all yard sales shall be registered with the Town of Hanover. Residents having a yard sale can download the registration form and submit in the drop box or mail to the Municipal Office, or by email to civic@hanover.ca, at least one week in advance of having a yard sale. Residents will benefit from free advertising of their yard sale via the Town of Hanover website.
Sales are permitted a maximum three (3) times per year at any one (1) location and for no longer than two (2) consecutive days.
The Town's sign by-law prohibits signs from being attached to any municipal poles/posts/trees/garbage cans, etc. The by-law is in place to enhance safety and cleanliness, reduce clutter, etc. Signs can be posted on a stake on the road allowance and must be removed within 24 hours after the sale.
Thank you for your cooperation!

We’ve been watching and collecting your questions, comments and complaints about the recent announcement of residential yard sale registration requirements. Please find our responses below.
Is there a charge to register?
No.
Will there be a charge to register in the future?
No.
Then why is registration required?
By-laws are usually complaint driven. Registration has been introduced because there have been many complaints from neighbours about long-term yard sales. Registration also provides the information we need to post your yard sale on our website.
Does this type of by-law exist in other municipalities?
Yes. The comprehensive zoning by-law is a common by-law for most municipalities, and like Hanover, it is enforced on a complaint basis. This by-law regulates the use of land.
Is the comprehensive zoning by-law new?
No. The by-law has been around since 1974.
Free website advertising, so what?
Our website has great traffic! We think this is a bonus for you, free advertising and promotion of your yard sales. However, if you don’t want the free website advertising, we won’t include you on the list.
It rained! What happens to my date?
Don’t worry, if it rains and you cancel, this date will not be used towards your three dates. They only count when you have the sale.
For more information, please contact Ken Campbell, Municipal Law Enforcement Officer at 519.364.2780 x 1249. Thank you!
