DeSoto County has no unified countywide garage sale frequency limit in unincorporated areas. Municipalities set their own caps — Southaven and Olive Branch each limit residents to roughly 4 sales per calendar year under their peddler/transient vendor codes.
In unincorporated DeSoto County, the Planning and Zoning Ordinance treats occasional residential yard sales as accessory to a dwelling and does not impose a hard numeric annual cap, but sales that become routine can be reclassified as a home occupation requiring a certificate of occupancy. Southaven Code of Ordinances Chapter 18 (Businesses) treats recurring garage sales as transient sales and limits residents to approximately 4 per year. Olive Branch Code Chapter 22 similarly caps sales at 4 per household per calendar year, with each sale limited to 3 consecutive days. Horn Lake and Hernando follow comparable practice. Neighborhood or multi-family sales count as one event for each participating household.
Exceeding municipal cap: $50 to $250 citation in Southaven, Olive Branch, and Horn Lake. Operating as an unlicensed retail business: privilege license violation up to $500 plus back tax. Unincorporated reclassification: home occupation zoning violation up to $500.
