Sumner County's zoning resolution caps residential yard sales at no more than four per year, with each sale lasting no more than three days in any ninety-day period. Exceeding that turns an accessory use into an unpermitted business.
Unlike counties that set no number, Sumner County's Zoning Resolution puts a concrete limit on household sales. A yard sale of personal or household items is allowed as an accessory use only if it runs no more than three days within a ninety-day period and happens no more than four times a year. Those two limits keep an occasional cleanout from becoming a de facto storefront; frequent, continuous selling, or reselling purchased merchandise, is treated as a commercial use requiring proper zoning and a business license. HOAs in Old Hickory Lake subdivisions often set even tighter caps.
Exceeding four sales a year or the three-day-per-ninety-days limit can bring zoning enforcement, treating the activity as an unpermitted business subject to correction orders and penalties. HOA limits are enforced separately by covenant.
