Question

Do i need a permit to have a garage sale in Brampton, Ontario Canada?

Answer 1

No permit is required for garage sales on your property (that includes property you are renting).

You can advertise your sale in the local paper, Brampton Guardian, and you can TRY putting up signs on the day of the sale.  

Note the accent on TRY....this is because Brampton does not allow such signs and will take them down.

You might have a better chance with a sandwich-board sign...(I am not sure) and a sign on your lawn is permissible, but garage sale signs on mailboxes or street lamp and hydro poles are  definitely subject to removal.

At this time of year garage sales are not common, so the City is active in removing signs. Later on, it will just get too burdensome, because of increasing numbers of sales, and they cannot take all of them down.
