3 rules for unincorporated Yakima County, Washington.
Verified from official government sources
Most of Yakima County needs no garage-sale permit. The City of Yakima allows yard sales as an accessory use with no permit, though some valley cities such as Sunnyside require a yard-sale permit by ordinance.
The City of Yakima caps yard sales at two per dwelling unit each year, and each sale may run no more than three consecutive days. Unincorporated county sales have no fixed numeric cap but cannot become a business.
No county rule sets garage-sale hours in Yakima County. Sales are expected to run during normal daytime hours, with early or late activity limited by general noise and nuisance rules rather than a garage-sale ordinance.
