Permits are a city matter in Williamson County. Franklin requires a $5 permit displayed on the property; Nolensville uses a free downloadable permit. Brentwood requires no permit, and unincorporated county residents need none either.
There is no countywide yard-sale permit in Williamson County. Franklin makes it a rule: a $5 permit, obtained online or at City Hall, must be displayed at the sale, with each household limited to four sales a year. Nolensville issues a free permit downloaded from the town website, also capped at four sales annually. Brentwood requires no permit but limits residents to two sales a year. Unincorporated county residents need no permit, though temporary signs advertising the sale must follow the county's sign rules and come down afterward.
Holding a sale without Franklin's required $5 permit, or exceeding a city's annual cap, is a municipal ordinance violation carrying a fine. Illegally placed or abandoned signs draw a separate citation.
