Licking County sets no cap on how often you can hold a yard sale. Newark caps sales through its permit system, and other cities may limit them, but in the townships the only real brakes are an HOA covenant or selling so constantly it reads as a business.
No county ordinance limits how many garage sales a household may hold, because the county does not license the sales at all. Newark controls frequency through its permit: because a permit is required for each sale, the number and length of sales are tied to what the city allows when it issues one, so a resident planning several sales a year should ask at City Hall. Heath, Pataskala and Granville may impose their own limits. Out in the townships there is no numeric cap. The practical limits everywhere are a homeowners association covenant that restricts sales, and the risk that near-constant selling from a home looks like unlicensed retail and invites zoning scrutiny.
No county frequency citation applies. Exceeding what a Newark or other city permit allows can draw a municipal citation, and continuous selling from a home can be treated as an unlicensed business or home-occupation zoning violation.
