Up to 3 Consecutive DaysA permit may cover a sale lasting up to three consecutive days.

Four Per YearResidents are currently limited to four garage-sale licenses within a 12-month period.

How to Submit a Classified
Choose the right categoryUse the category that most accurately describes the item, notice or opportunity.
Write a factual descriptionInclude condition, approximate age, relevant dimensions, quantity, price and other information a reasonable buyer would need.
Give a safe contact methodUse only the contact information you are comfortable making public. Avoid posting sensitive personal or financial information.
Provide the general locationBarnegat Township or a neighborhood/corridor is usually enough for an initial posting. A precise home address should be included only when needed, such as an advertised garage sale.
Review the rulesListings involving prohibited, unsafe, misleading or regulated items will not be accepted.
Tell NJTGO when it is no longer activeRemove sold items, cancelled notices and completed events promptly so the marketplace stays useful.
What to Include in a Good Listing
Clear HeadlineUse a short, specific description such as “Solid Wood Dining Table” rather than a vague title.
ConditionDisclose damage, missing parts, known defects or repair needs rather than surprising the buyer at pickup.
PriceState a firm price, asking price, “best reasonable offer” or “free” rather than using misleading bait pricing.
Pickup DetailsExplain whether an item needs multiple people, a truck, disassembly or special handling.
PhotosWhen enhanced posting options are available, current photos should show the actual item rather than a catalog image.
ExpirationInclude an event date, sale date or reasonable expiration date when the posting is time-sensitive.
Classified Safety
Meet in a public placeWhen practical, choose a busy, well-lit public location during daylight hours and let another person know where you are going.
Verify before payingInspect merchandise before paying and confirm model numbers, serial numbers, title information or ownership documentation when appropriate.
Avoid payment scamsDo not accept overpayment schemes, fake checks, gift-card payment, cryptocurrency transfers or requests to forward part of a payment to someone else.
Protect financial informationNever provide online-banking passwords, verification codes, PINs or unnecessary identity documents to a buyer or seller.
Vehicle transactionsConfirm the title, VIN, registration status, ownership and applicable New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission requirements before completing a sale.
Large or home pickupsIf a buyer must come to your property, consider having another adult present and limit access to areas unrelated to the transaction.
Barnegat Police: For an emergency call 911. The Barnegat Township Police Department is located at 900 West Bay Avenue and lists its non-emergency phone number as 609-698-5000.
Lost Pets & Animal Notices
Pet postings should focus on animal safety and reunification. Give a clear description, approximate location last seen or found, date, distinguishing features and a safe contact method.
Lost PetInclude species, breed or mix, color, approximate size, collar/harness information and last-known location without exposing unnecessary ownership records.
Found PetWithhold one or two identifying details so someone claiming the animal can demonstrate legitimate ownership.
Animal ControlTownship guidance directs residents to Popcorn Park Zoo at 609-693-1900 during work hours and Barnegat Police at 609-698-5000 after hours.
Adoption NoticesLegitimate rescue or adoption notices may be considered, but NJTGO does not accept unsafe breeding, trafficking or unlawful animal-sale postings.

Roommate notices should describe the room or shared space, approximate location, rent, utilities, deposit, lease length, household expectations and move-in timing without using discriminatory preferences prohibited by fair-housing law.
