Schaumburg FAQ

Can I start my garage sale at 7 AM?

The generally enforced standard is 8:00 AM. Starting earlier risks noise complaints from neighbors, which may trigger code enforcement action under the noise ordinance.

Do I have to bring everything inside each night?

What if shoppers block my neighbor's driveway?

Garage sale shoppers must park legally on the street without blocking driveways, hydrants, or mailboxes. You may want to set up directional signs for parking and notify neighbors in advance.
