Unincorporated Fresno County residents may hold occasional garage/yard sales without a permit, provided they stay within the frequency limits in the zoning ordinance. No county business license needed for true casual sales. California Revenue & Taxation Code §6006.5 exempts occasional sales from sales tax (fewer than 3 per year triggers exemption strictly; practice varies).
