Frequency, Duration & Permits
In Roanoke County, Virginia (outside the independent cities of Roanoke and Salem), a garage or yard sale is allowed as an accessory use on a residential lot, but only twice in any two-month period. Roanoke County Code § 30-88-2(A)(4) sets the cap; there is no separate permit or fee for a residential sale, but exceeding the frequency turns the activity into a zoning violation.
