No garage-sale permit exists in unincorporated Washington County; the county does not license residential sales. Inside the cities it varies. Fayetteville requires no permit but caps sales at four a year and three consecutive days.
Permits for yard sales are a city device in Arkansas, not a county one. Unincorporated Washington County issues no permit and charges no fee, because the county does not license a homeowner's occasional sale. A resident near Elkins, Farmington, or West Fork simply holds the sale. The cities differ: Fayetteville requires no permit either but limits a location to four sales a year, each no longer than three consecutive days; Springdale and other towns set their own terms. Signs placed in the public right-of-way can be removed regardless of where the sale is held.
The unincorporated county cannot cite you for an unpermitted sale, because no permit exists. In the cities, exceeding the sale caps or posting illegal signs can draw a municipal citation.
