Unincorporated Palm Beach County does not require permits for residential garage sales but limits frequency to 2 per year per address. Most municipalities (Boca Raton, Delray Beach, West Palm Beach) require free permits.
Per PBC Unified Land Development Code Article 4, residential garage/yard sales in unincorporated areas are limited to two per calendar year per address, with each event lasting no more than 3 consecutive days. No permit is required at the county level. However, most incorporated municipalities require a free permit obtained from city hall or online: Boca Raton (free, 2/year), Delray Beach (free, 4/year), West Palm Beach (free, 3/year). Permits help track frequency and ensure signage compliance. Items must be personal household property, not commercial inventory.
Exceeding limit (unincorp): $100-$250. Operating without required municipal permit: $50-$100 first offense.
