Unincorporated Sarpy County requires no garage-sale permit and does not license residential sales. Permits and limits are a city matter. In the unincorporated county you simply hold the sale.
There is no county yard-sale permit in unincorporated Sarpy County and no fee. The county's land-use authority governs zoning and building, not the licensing of a homeowner's occasional sale, so a resident outside the cities just holds the sale. Any real limits are municipal. The cities fold garage and yard sales into their zoning and property-maintenance codes; Papillion, for instance, regulates them as an accessory use with frequency limits rather than a paid permit. If you live inside Bellevue, Papillion, La Vista or Gretna, check that city's code for whether registration is needed and what limits apply; in the unincorporated county there is no permit to obtain.
The unincorporated county cannot cite an unpermitted sale, because none is required. Inside a city, holding sales beyond what the city code allows draws a municipal citation under its residential-sales or zoning rules.
