Wright County sets no cap on garage sales, and its cities generally do not fix a number per year. The real limit is practical: sell so often that your home looks like a store and zoning rules take over.
Neither Wright County nor its main cities pin residents to a set number of garage sales a year the way some suburbs elsewhere do. Buffalo, Monticello, and St. Michael treat an occasional household sale as ordinary residential activity, not a licensed event, so there is no fixed annual cap to track. The boundary is functional: if sales run so continuously that the property effectively operates as an ongoing retail business, it stops being a garage sale and becomes a home occupation or transient-merchant use that zoning regulates. Neighborhood-wide and community sales count as a single event.
No citation for a normal number of sales. Running near-permanent sales that amount to unlicensed retail can trigger home-occupation or zoning enforcement, with cease-and-desist orders and fines.
