Osceola County's code has no dedicated garage-sale permit chapter; rules come from the Land Development Code as an accessory home use, plus sign limits. Sale signs may not be placed in the public right-of-way, and merchandise must not create a nuisance or block traffic sight lines.
Occasional garage or yard sales are treated as a temporary accessory residential use under the Osceola County Land Development Code rather than a licensed business, so the county sets no standalone permit ordinance for them. The controlling limits are on signage and nuisance: property-maintenance standards bar placing real-estate, snipe, or other signs within the public right-of-way, and require the area under any sign to be kept free of weeds, rubbish, and waste. Merchandise, tables, and parking must not block sidewalks, sight distance, or traffic. Frequent or continuous sales can be treated as an unpermitted home business under home-occupation rules. Confirm frequency and sign rules with Osceola County Community Development before advertising.
Right-of-way signs may be removed and the owner cited. Persistent or commercial-scale sales can trigger code-enforcement action under Chapter 7 with fines up to $250/day (first) or $500/day (repeat).
