Summary
Mission caps permitted garage sales to a daily window of 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. under Chapter 82, Article II of the city code.
An applicant having a valid permit shall operate no earlier than 6:00 a.m. and no later than 9:00 p.m.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: Code of Ordinances: Supplement 31).
Full Breakdown
Once a resident has a valid garage sale permit, the sale can't run before 6:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m. on any permitted day. The same permit covers up to four consecutive days, or two two-day weekends, and the city caps each address to four garage sales per year, no more than one per three-month stretch. Selling outside those hours violates the article even if the sale itself is otherwise permitted.
Violations & Fines
Operating before 6:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m. violates Sec. 82-42; the city can revoke the sales permit outright, and Sec. 82-44 sets fines up to $25 for the first two convictions and up to $100 for each one after that in the same calendar year.
