The unincorporated county requires no permit for an occasional yard or garage sale. Only a sale that runs continuously becomes a retail use, triggering zoning compliance and a Chapter 18 business license. Newnan, Senoia, and Grantville set their own rules.
Coweta County has no yard-sale permit or registration for the unincorporated area, so a household holding an occasional sale needs no county paperwork. The line the county watches is between a genuine occasional sale and an ongoing operation: a sale that runs continuously is treated as a retail business, which is not an allowed home use in residential zoning and would require a business occupation license under Chapter 18. Sale goods and signs remain subject to the county's litter and accumulation rules. Residents inside Newnan, Senoia, or Grantville should check the city, since county rules stop at the municipal line.
No penalty applies to an occasional sale. Running a perpetual sale as a de facto store can bring code enforcement for an unpermitted land use plus a demand to obtain a business license under Chapter 18.
