Moreno Valley FAQ
Temecula FAQ
Can I let early buyers in before 7 AM?
No — letting buyers shop before 7 AM creates traffic, parking, and noise that violate the time restrictions and disturb neighbors.
What about setting up Thursday night for a Friday sale?
Quiet outdoor staging is fine; loud activity, vehicle traffic, or signage installation that generates noise after 10 PM violates the noise ordinance.
Are there different rules in HOA communities?
Yes — HOAs in Harveston, Roripaugh Ranch, Wolf Creek, Paloma del Sol, and other master-planned communities often impose stricter hours and may require board approval.
