Caps are set city by city. Franklin and Nolensville allow four sales a year; Brentwood allows two. Unincorporated Williamson County sets no numeric cap, though continuous selling can trip zoning rules.
How often you can hold a sale depends on your city. Franklin limits each household to four yard sales per calendar year, each running up to three consecutive days or two consecutive weekends. Nolensville matches that four-sale limit. Brentwood is stricter, allowing only two sales a year and no more than two consecutive days each. Unincorporated Williamson County imposes no set number, but running sales so frequently that a home operates like a store invites home-occupation and zoning enforcement. Neighborhood or subdivision-wide sales are generally treated as a single event.
Exceeding a city cap — four sales in Franklin or Nolensville, two in Brentwood — is a municipal ordinance violation drawing a fine. Continuous selling that amounts to an unlicensed business triggers zoning enforcement.
