San Diego County does not specify mandatory garage sale hours for unincorporated areas. General noise ordinance provisions apply. Garage sales should operate during reasonable daytime hours to comply with noise limits and avoid disturbing neighbors.
The County does not have a specific ordinance setting mandatory hours for garage sales in unincorporated areas. However, the general noise ordinance applies, which means activities should comply with the residential noise limits of 50 dBA during daytime (7 AM–10 PM) and 45 dBA during nighttime (10 PM–7 AM). Common practice is to hold garage sales between 7 or 8 AM and 3–5 PM on weekends. Activities that generate noise before 7 AM or create disturbances to neighbors may be cited under the noise ordinance. Parking and traffic associated with the sale should not block roads or driveways. Some HOAs may have specific requirements about garage sale hours.
No specific garage sale hour violations. Noise violations apply if the sale creates disturbance during restricted hours. Parking violations apply separately.
