Limits are set by city. Kennewick caps yard sales at two per household each calendar year, up to five consecutive days each. Richland sets no numeric cap, and unincorporated sales cannot become a business.
Frequency rules are local, not countywide. The clearest limit is in Kennewick, where a household may hold only two yard sales per calendar year, whether alone or as part of a group, each running no more than five consecutive days, so the property does not operate as ongoing retail. Richland publishes no fixed numeric limit but expects genuine occasional sales, not a standing storefront. Unincorporated Benton County sets no hard cap, but repeated sales can cross into running an unlicensed business and trigger zoning enforcement. The practical line everywhere is between an occasional household sale and a recurring commercial operation.
Exceeding Kennewick's two-sale, five-day limit can bring a code-compliance citation. Recurring sales elsewhere may be treated as an unlicensed business and draw zoning enforcement.
