The City of Myrtle Beach requires no permit for a residential yard sale but limits residents to four sales per year, one per quarter, in residential areas only. Unincorporated Horry County has no standalone garage-sale ordinance; sales are treated as a temporary use under the zoning ordinance.
Per the City of Myrtle Beach's official public-information guidance, no permit is required for a residential yard sale within city limits, but the city allows up to four residential yard sales per year (one per quarter) and prohibits sales on commercial properties or business locations. One yard-sale sign may be posted on the property itself; signs in the public right-of-way, on utility poles, or in medians are not allowed. In unincorporated Horry County, garage and yard sales are not separately licensed but are governed as temporary/accessory residential uses under the Horry County Zoning Ordinance (Appendix B); check your zoning district and any HOA rules.
Myrtle Beach: exceeding four sales a year, selling on commercial property, or posting off-premises signs violates city rules; illegal signs may be removed and the resident cited.
