Unincorporated Hernando County sets no fixed cap on garage sales, but frequent, ongoing sales cross into unlicensed retail and zoning enforcement. Brooksville and HOAs may limit households to a few sales a year.
Hernando County publishes no hard sales-per-year number for unincorporated areas, so a genuine occasional yard sale is fine. The real line is the character of use: repeated, continuous, or weekly sales make a home look like a retail store, which residential zoning and the home-occupation rules don't allow. Selling only your own household goods a few times a year stays on the right side of that line; buying merchandise to resell does not. The City of Brooksville and HOA covenants in Spring Hill subdivisions commonly do cap sales, often two to four per household each year, so check the rules for your address.
A pattern of ongoing sales can be cited as an unpermitted home business or commercial use in a residential zone, bringing code-compliance notices and daily fines until it stops.
