Section 5-607 caps yard and garage sales at two per year per holder, each no longer than three consecutive days. The building official keeps the record of when and where sales are held, so the count is tracked.
Clarksville runs one of the tighter frequency caps in Tennessee: two sales a year, not two a month or two a quarter. Section 5-607 makes the building official responsible for keeping a record of when and where sales are held. Going past two sales in a year moves a resident out of the casual-seller category entirely: the section states that anyone holding more than two sales annually is subject to applying for a license from the commissioner of finance and revenue under the Business Tax Act, is subject to sales tax, and may be required to keep an inventory of goods on hand for inspection by that commissioner or an authorized agent.
A third sale in a year exposes the holder to Business Tax Act licensing, state and local sales tax, and inventory inspection by the commissioner of finance and revenue.
