Brownsville sets no opening or closing hour for garage sales. The timing rule is about span rather than clock: a sale may run up to five consecutive days, and a household gets one sale every three months.
Section 4.4.5 caps duration and frequency and stops there. Neither the zoning code nor Chapter 22 fixes a start time, an end time, or a curfew for residential sales. Two other rules still shape early and late hours in practice. Amplified noise and shouting at a sale fall under the general nuisance and disorderly conduct provisions, including Texas Penal Code section 42.01 for unreasonable noise. Directional signs placed in the public right-of-way run into the sign regulations in section 5.3 of the development regulations, which govern where temporary signage may stand.
Running past five consecutive days is a zoning violation carrying a fine up to $2,000.00 under section 1-13(a)(1). Noise complaints are handled separately.
