3 rules for unincorporated Champaign County, Illinois.
Verified from official government sources
Unincorporated Champaign County requires no garage-sale permit — it does not license residential sales. In Urbana, homeowners can get a free waiver from the transient-merchant rule through the Finance Department. Champaign does not permit ordinary resident yard sales.
Champaign County sets no cap on how often you can hold a yard sale, and neither Champaign nor Urbana fixes a hard yearly limit. The only real brakes are an HOA covenant or selling so continuously that it reads as an unlicensed business.
No county ordinance sets garage-sale hours in unincorporated Champaign County, and the cities impose no special sale-hour rule. Practically, sales run in daylight; the real limits are the general noise ordinance and same-day cleanup.
