Montgomery County does not require garage sale permits. Conroe and Willis also require no permit. The Woodlands allows garage sales with deed restrictions governing frequency and signage placement.
Montgomery County and most cities within it do not require garage sale permits. Texas Tax Code §151.304 exempts occasional sales of personal property from sales tax if the seller holds two or fewer sales per year of under $3,000 total. Conroe Code has no garage sale permit chapter; residents may host sales without registration. Willis and Magnolia similarly require no permits. The Woodlands Township allows garage sales under deed restrictions: the Residential Design Standards require sales remain incidental to residential use and signs placed only on the sale property. HOAs (Bentwater, April Sound, Walden, Imperial Oaks) may add restrictions. Selling without a permit remains legal under county authority per TX Local Gov Code Ch. 232.
No county penalties. TX sales tax violation if exceeding 2 sales/year over $3,000: state tax assessment plus penalties. Woodlands sign violations off-property: covenant enforcement, typically $100 to $500.
