Harris County has no limits on the frequency of garage sales in unincorporated areas. Excessive or continuous sales activity may be considered a home business subject to different regulations. Subdivision deed restrictions commonly limit garage sales to 2-4 per year.
Unincorporated Harris County does not limit how often residents can hold garage sales. There is no county ordinance regulating frequency, duration, or number of sales per year. However, conducting garage sales so frequently that it constitutes a regular business may trigger commercial activity considerations. HOA deed restrictions in many Harris County subdivisions limit garage sales to 2-4 per year with maximum durations of 2-3 days per sale. Community-wide or neighborhood sales may have separate HOA rules. Texas Tax Code generally exempts occasional personal property sales from sales tax.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Harris County code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
