Unincorporated Clay County sets no cap on how often you can hold a yard sale. Frequency limits are a city rule — Gladstone allows two sales per year, each up to three consecutive days. HOA covenants may also apply.
No county ordinance limits the number of garage sales a household may hold in unincorporated Clay County, because the county does not license the sales at all. You can hold them as often as you like without breaching county law; the only practical brakes are an HOA covenant or the risk that continuous selling looks like an unlicensed retail business. Inside the cities the numbers are firm. Gladstone limits residents to two permits per year — counting neighborhood-sale participation — and caps each sale at three consecutive days. Liberty and other Clay County municipalities set their own annual limits, so check the city code if you live within city limits.
The unincorporated county issues no frequency citation. Inside a city, exceeding the annual cap — two sales a year in Gladstone — draws a municipal citation under the residential-sales ordinance.
