DeSoto County cities have minimal garage sale regulation. Southaven, Olive Branch, and Horn Lake limit sales to 2-3 per year per address without permit. Hernando requires free registration for sales over 2 days.
Garage and yard sales in DeSoto County are lightly regulated. Southaven Code Ch. 26 allows up to 3 sales per address per calendar year with no permit required; sales limited to 3 consecutive days, daytime hours only. Olive Branch allows 2-3 sales per year without permit. Horn Lake limits to 3 sales annually. Hernando requires a free registration for sales exceeding 2 days. Signs must be removed within 24 hours of sale end under all four cities' sign ordinances; no signs on utility poles or public ROW. Merchandise must be personal/household items, not commercially acquired for resale — habitual selling triggers state privilege license requirement under MS Code §27-17. Estate sales follow similar rules with some probate exceptions.
Exceeding frequency limit: $25 to $100. Sign in public ROW: $25 to $50 plus sign confiscation. Commercial-scale selling without license: $100 to $500 plus MS privilege license enforcement.
