Unincorporated Indian River County has no garage-sale permit program - selling your own household goods is fine. The rule that bites is signage: temporary garage-sale signs are limited to a set number of display days a year and must stay off the public right-of-way.
Indian River County doesn't run a garage- or yard-sale permit or registration system for its unincorporated areas, so an occasional sale of personal household property needs no county license. What the code does regulate is signs. Temporary signs at a residence open to the public are capped at a limited number of display days per calendar year, and no sign may sit on public property or in the road right-of-way. Merchandise must be your own goods, not items bought for resale. The cities of Vero Beach and Sebastian may set their own rules, and the HOAs and CDDs common across the county often restrict sales to scheduled community-wide dates - check your covenants.
No county permit means no permit fine, but signs left on the right-of-way or up past the sale can be removed as illegal signage and cited. Running a standing retail operation triggers zoning enforcement.
