Champaign County sets no cap on how often you can hold a yard sale, and neither Champaign nor Urbana fixes a hard yearly limit. The only real brakes are an HOA covenant or selling so continuously that it reads as an unlicensed business.
No county ordinance limits the number of garage sales a household may hold in the unincorporated area, because the county does not license the sales at all. Champaign and Urbana likewise do not impose the strict two-to-four-sales-a-year caps some Illinois towns use; their concern is the vendor and property-maintenance rules, not a sale count. You can hold occasional sales without breaching a frequency rule. The practical limits are a homeowners association covenant that restricts sales, and the risk that near-constant selling from a residence looks like retail activity, which can trigger home-occupation or zoning scrutiny in a city.
No county or city frequency citation applies to occasional sales here. Continuous, ongoing selling from a home can be treated as an unlicensed retail or home-occupation zoning violation in the cities.
