Altadena FAQ
What hours can I have a garage sale?
While no specific ordinance sets hours, sales should be held between 7 AM and 6 PM to avoid noise complaints. Setting up before 7 AM or running past sunset may violate the county noise ordinance.
How many days can a garage sale last?
One to two days is standard. Extended sales (3+ days) may be considered outdoor storage or commercial activity, which could trigger code enforcement. Keep it brief and remove unsold items promptly.
Do I have to take down garage sale signs?
Yes. Signs must be removed promptly after the sale. Signs left on public property (poles, medians) are already prohibited under the county sign code and can result in fines.
