Anne Arundel County limits residential yard sales to 3 per calendar year per household to prevent commercial retail activity. Each sale 1-3 consecutive days. Excess triggers home business rules.
Anne Arundel County zoning code (Article 18) interprets frequent residential yard sales as unlicensed retail activity triggering home occupation review. The practical limit is 3 sales per calendar year per household, each lasting 1-3 consecutive days. Neighborhood-wide sales organized through HOAs (Severna Park, Crofton, Cape St. Claire) generally count as a single event per household. Estate sales with professional firms typically count separately but may trigger separate licensing for the hosting firm. Exceeding frequency may result in zoning citation requiring home occupation permit or cease-and-desist.
Exceeding frequency: $100-$500. Operating as unlicensed retail: Article 18 zoning citation $250-$1,000.
