Lynn Haven does not cap the number of garage sales per year. However, continuous operation (more than occasional weekend sales) crosses the line into retail business and triggers Business Tax Receipt requirements.
Without a specific garage sale ordinance, Lynn Haven has no codified frequency cap (unlike some Florida cities that limit to 2-4 sales per year). However, the Business Tax Receipt rule (Sec. 16-1 et seq.) applies to any 'business activity for compensation' - chronic weekly garage sales become a retail operation requiring a BTR plus likely zoning issues under the ULDC. The practical line is approximately 4 sales per year per address; beyond that, Code Enforcement may investigate as unlicensed business activity.
Unlicensed continuous retail - 25% BTR penalty plus Sec. 1-7 daily fines.
