Lake County's unincorporated code sets no dedicated garage-sale permit or frequency limit—that is a city-level rule. Incorporated cities such as Tavares regulate garage sales directly. County nuisance and sign rules still apply everywhere.
Lake County's Code of Ordinances and Land Development Regulations contain no standalone garage-sale ordinance for unincorporated areas, so there is no county permit or per-year cap. Cities set their own: Tavares, for example, has an entire Garage Sale Regulations article (Code Ch. 10.5, Art. IV). Wherever you live, the county's general rules still apply—temporary signs must follow the LDR sign code, and merchandise or leftover junk left out afterward can become a declared nuisance under Ch. 14. Confirm your city's rule before advertising a sale.
No county garage-sale penalty exists in unincorporated Lake County. City violations are enforced by the city. Leftover debris or unlawful signs may still draw county Code Enforcement action (citation from $150).
