Montgomery County sets no garage sale frequency limits. Texas sales tax law offers occasional-sale exemption for two sales per year under $3,000. HOAs like Bentwater and April Sound impose their own limits.
Montgomery County has no frequency ordinance for garage sales. Texas Tax Code §151.304(b) provides the occasional sale exemption: an individual may conduct up to two sales per calendar year with gross receipts under $3,000 total before sales tax collection becomes mandatory. Exceeding this threshold triggers sales tax permit requirements through the Texas Comptroller. Conroe and The Woodlands impose no city-level frequency caps. HOA governing documents — Bentwater (2 per year), April Sound (quarterly maximum), Walden, Imperial Oaks — frequently limit to 2 to 4 sales annually. TX HB 2127 (Death Star Act, 2023) preempts many city regulations that would duplicate state occupation rules. Operating more than two non-tax-registered sales yearly risks state tax enforcement, not local citation.
No county penalties. State tax non-compliance: back sales tax, penalties 5-10% plus interest. HOA covenant violations: $50 to $500 per occurrence depending on community rules.
