Brazoria County sets no garage-sale permit or frequency rule in unincorporated areas, because Texas counties can't zone or license this. Incorporated cities do: many require a permit and limit how many sales per year. Check your city, not the county, for yard-sale rules.
In unincorporated Brazoria County there is no ordinance requiring a permit for a garage, yard, or estate sale, and no cap on how often you may hold one; the county lacks the zoning and licensing authority to impose one. State sales-tax rules on occasional sales still apply, but that's a Comptroller matter, not a county ordinance. If you live inside a city such as Pearland, Lake Jackson, Alvin, or Angleton, that city typically requires a garage-sale permit, limits sales to a set number of days and a few times per year, and regulates signage. Confirm the rule with your city's permitting office before advertising a sale.
No county penalty in unincorporated areas. City violations (selling without a permit, exceeding the annual limit, or illegal signs) carry municipal fines set by the city.
