Rules vary by city. Kennewick allows two yard sales per calendar year, up to five consecutive days each, with no permit. Leftover merchandise and signs must be cleaned up promptly to avoid a blight complaint.
Benton County's property-maintenance concern with yard sales is keeping them from becoming ongoing retail or curbside clutter. Kennewick permits two sales per household per calendar year, each running no more than five consecutive days, with no permit for a private sale. Richland sets no numeric yard-sale limit but requires signs be removed promptly. Across all jurisdictions, merchandise, tables, and racks must be displayed neatly and stored out of view when the sale ends; goods left in the front yard between or after sale days can be cited as blight, and signs must come down. Unincorporated sales follow county nuisance rules.
Leaving unsold goods or signs out after a sale, or exceeding a city's sale limits, can bring a code-compliance or blight citation and an order to clean up.
