Bakersfield garage sales are limited to two consecutive days per BMC 17.04.305. While the code does not specify exact hours, sales are expected to take place during reasonable daytime hours consistent with residential neighborhood standards.
BMC 17.04.305 limits garage sales to two consecutive days. While specific operating hours are not codified, sales should occur during reasonable daytime hours (typically 7:00 AM to sunset). Noise from garage sales must comply with the city's noise ordinance. Sales conducted during nighttime hours could constitute a nuisance under city code. Setup and display of items should be confined to the property and not extend into the street or sidewalk.
Sales extending beyond two consecutive days violate BMC 17.04.305. Noise from early morning or late evening sales may violate the city's noise ordinance. Items displayed in the public right-of-way may be subject to code enforcement action.
