The unincorporated county requires no permit for a yard or garage sale. Only a continuous, ongoing sale triggers county attention, handled by Planning and Zoning as an unpermitted business. Dallas and Hiram set their own rules.
Paulding County has no yard-sale permit or registration for the unincorporated area, and its published code-enforcement guide directs only 'on-going' yard sales to Planning and Zoning at 770-443-7601. An occasional household sale needs no county paperwork. A sale that operates continuously is treated as an unpermitted business or unauthorized land use and can require a business license under Chapter 30. Sale goods and signs remain subject to the county litter code. Residents inside Dallas, Hiram, or Braswell should check the city, since county rules do not apply within municipal limits.
No penalty applies to an occasional sale. Running a continuous sale as a de facto store can bring a Planning and Zoning citation and a demand to obtain a business license under Chapter 30.
