Rankin County cities typically allow 3-4 garage sales per household per year, 2-3 days each. Exceeding limits is treated as unlicensed retail. Neighborhood-wide sales typically count as one event for each participating household.
Frequency limits on garage and yard sales in Rankin County are set by each municipal code rather than by state law. Brandon, Pearl, and Flowood typically allow 3-4 sales per residential address per calendar year, with each sale lasting no more than 3 consecutive days (Friday-Sunday being most common). Pelahatchie and Richland follow similar patterns. Exceeding the limit is treated as operating an unlicensed retail business from a residence, triggering both privilege license requirements under MS §27-17 and potential zoning enforcement for unpermitted home business use in R-1 districts. Neighborhood-wide or subdivision sales (common in Castlewoods, Reservoir-area subdivisions, and Lakeland Heights) are typically treated as one event for each participating household, not as a community event separate from the annual limits. Church, school, and nonprofit rummage sales are exempt from frequency limits. Estate sales conducted by licensed estate-sale companies are separately regulated. Sunday sales are permitted under Mississippi law (no statewide blue laws on resale).
Exceeding frequency: $50-$200 citation. Operating as unlicensed retail: privilege license violation $100-$500 plus zoning enforcement for home-business use in R-1. Repeated violations: cease-and-desist order.
