No missouri-wide permit exists. The rules below are set city by city, and we have recorded them for the 4 Missouri cities on this site.
Every rule below was recorded for one specific Missouri city — Joplin, Kansas City, St. Joseph and St. Louis — not for the state, because there is no missouri garage sale law to apply. Two neighbouring cities on this list can differ on whether a permit exists at all, where a sign may stand, and how many sale days an address is allowed. Find the row for your own street, follow its official link where we have one, and take your signs down on the evening the sale ends.
