Kent County, Michigan does not license or limit garage and yard sales. Permit needs, sale-day caps, and sign rules are set by your individual city, village, or township. Check your municipal clerk or ordinance before advertising a sale.
Kent County has no countywide garage-sale, yard-sale, or rummage-sale ordinance. Whether you need a permit, how many sales you may hold per year, allowed hours, and where you may post signs are all decided by your municipality. Some Kent County cities require a free or low-cost permit and limit residents to two or three sales annually; others impose no permit at all but still regulate temporary signs in the right-of-way. Because the rule depends entirely on your address, contact your city or township clerk or read the local code before scheduling a sale. The county government plays no role in garage-sale regulation.
Penalties (if any) are set by your municipality; typical enforcement is a warning to remove illegal signs or a small municipal civil-infraction fine for unpermitted sales.
