Mobile County sets no cap on how often you can hold a yard sale in unincorporated areas. Counties can't regulate residential sales, so there is no annual limit — frequency is controlled only by HOA covenants, if any.
No county rule limits the number of garage sales a household can hold in unincorporated Mobile County. The county lacks the zoning and licensing authority that a frequency cap would rest on, so a resident can hold sales as often as they like without breaching county law. The practical brakes are elsewhere: a homeowners association covenant may cap sales per year, and running sales so continuously that the property becomes a de facto retail operation could draw scrutiny for unlicensed business activity. Short of that, the county imposes no numeric limit at all.
The county issues no citation for frequent sales. Only an HOA covenant limit, or a sale operation so constant it reads as an unlicensed business, would create any enforceable problem.
