No county rule sets yard sale hours, and the Plymouth County communities impose few limits beyond daylight and general noise bylaws. Sales are expected to run during reasonable daytime hours, with amplified noise and early setup controlled by local nuisance rules.
There is no county-wide hours restriction on yard sales, and the six communities take a light touch. Brockton, Plymouth, Marshfield, Scituate, Duxbury, and Wareham do not publish fixed start and end times for residential sales; the practical expectation is daytime operation, typically morning through late afternoon. The real constraints are general: noise bylaws restrict amplified sound and early-morning disturbance, and sign rules bar posting on public property, most strictly in Brockton. A sale that spills into late evening or blocks the street can draw a noise or obstruction complaint rather than a garage sale hours violation.
No community sets a hard hours penalty for yard sales. Early or late sales that generate noise or block a street are handled under general noise and obstruction bylaws instead.
