Norfolk County has no frequency limit. Most municipalities cap household yard sales at 2-4 per year to prevent ongoing retail activity, which would trigger MGL c. 101 transient vendor regulation.
Frequency limits for garage sales in Norfolk County are municipal. Typical cap across Norfolk County towns is 2-4 sales per household per calendar year, with each sale lasting 2-3 consecutive days. Quincy allows 2 per year; Brookline allows 3; Weymouth 2; Dedham 2 per year. The purpose is to prevent residential properties from operating as ongoing retail businesses. Multi-family or neighborhood-wide sales typically count as single events. Exceeding limits may trigger home business zoning review under MGL c. 40A or transient vendor requirements under MGL c. 101 §13. Community and church sales often have separate allowances under municipal bylaws.
No county enforcement. Municipal exceeding frequency: $50-$200. Operating as unlicensed retail: home business zoning violation $100-$500; MGL c. 101 §32 transient vendor criminal penalty.
