Kanawha County sets no cap on how often you can hold a yard sale, because it does not license the sales at all. Any frequency limit is a city rule or an HOA covenant. Charleston does not cap occasional residential sales.
No county ordinance limits how many garage sales a household may hold in unincorporated Kanawha County. You can hold them as often as you like without breaching county law; the only practical brakes are an HOA covenant or the risk that near-continuous selling starts to look like an unlicensed retail business run from a home. Charleston does not fix a hard annual number for genuine, occasional residential sales, treating persistent selling instead as a possible zoning or home-occupation issue. Smaller Kanawha towns may set their own limits, so check the city code if you live within a municipality.
The unincorporated county issues no frequency citation. Inside a city, the real risk is that habitual, ongoing selling is treated as an unlicensed home business or zoning violation rather than a yard sale.
