Garage-sale limits come from your city or township zoning code. In Holland, a garage or yard sale runs no more than four consecutive days and may occur no more than three times per calendar year.
Ottawa County does not regulate residential garage sales; that is a city or township zoning matter. The City of Holland's zoning code treats an outdoor sale of no more than four consecutive days, held no more than three times per calendar year, as an exempt garage or yard sale. Longer or more frequent sales are treated as retail use and need approval. Townships set their own frequency and sign rules, so check your municipality before advertising.
Exceeding the day or frequency limits converts the sale into a regulated commercial use, triggering a zoning violation and possible fines.
