3 rules for unincorporated Loudoun County, Virginia.
Verified from official government sources
Loudoun County does not require a permit for residential garage or yard sales in unincorporated areas. Sales must comply with general property maintenance, sign, and zoning rules. HOAs in Ashburn, Brambleton, Broadlands, and Lansdowne commonly restrict or require coordination for community sales. Incorporated towns — Leesburg (Town Code §26), Purcellville, Middleburg, Hamilton, and Round Hill — may require registration. No state permit required.
Loudoun County does not impose specific frequency limits on residential garage sales. Sustained or recurring sales, however, may cross into home-business territory, requiring BPOL licensing and triggering zoning enforcement. HOAs in Loudoun's planned communities frequently limit individual household sales to 1-2 per year and coordinate community-wide sale weekends. No state limit. Leesburg and Purcellville rely on general home-business regulations rather than specific sale counts.
Loudoun County does not set specific garage sale hours in ordinance, but sales must respect general noise ordinance hours (typically 7 AM to 10 PM, and 9 AM to 10 PM on weekends under Ord. Ch. 684). Most Loudoun garage sales run 8 AM to 2 PM Friday-Sunday. HOAs routinely limit to 8 AM-4 PM. Items, tables, and signs must be removed at sale close. No sales on holidays restricted, but consider traffic impact.
