Hernando County requires no permit for an occasional residential garage or yard sale in unincorporated areas. The real limits are code-based: no ongoing retail, and signs must stay out of the road right-of-way.
Hernando County does not run a garage-sale permit or registration program for its unincorporated areas, so a resident holding an occasional yard sale in Spring Hill, Weeki Wachee, or Hernando Beach needs no county license. The practical limits come from zoning and code: a sale can't become an ongoing retail business - that turns into a home-occupation and zoning problem - and merchandise, tables, and signs must stay off the county road right-of-way and be cleared afterward. Signs placed in the right-of-way can be removed as illegal signage. The City of Brooksville and any HOA covenants may set their own stricter rules.
No county permit means no permit fine. But running a standing sale as a business, or leaving signs and goods in the right-of-way, invites code compliance for home-occupation, signage, or nuisance violations.
