Saginaw County sets no cap on garage sales. The City of Saginaw's zoning code effectively limits them to six days a year before a sale becomes a prohibited commercial use in a residential zone.
No Saginaw County ordinance limits how often you hold a yard sale, because the county does not regulate residential sales. The real limit in the City of Saginaw comes from zoning: a garage or basement sale conducted on residential premises for more than six calendar days in a one-year period is classified as a commercial use, which residential districts do not permit. Practically, that caps a city household near six sale-days a year. Saginaw Township, Frankenmuth and other communities set their own frequency and duration limits, and HOA covenants may add more.
Exceeding six sale-days a year in the City of Saginaw converts the activity into an unpermitted commercial use, enforceable by zoning and code enforcement. Township limits vary.
