Clearwater Community Development Code Section 3-2103 limits each garage sale to no more than three days per occurrence and indirectly bounds hours through citywide noise and nuisance standards.
CDC Sec. 3-2103 caps each garage sale at three consecutive days per occurrence as an allowable temporary use. The Community Development Code does not impose specific hour-by-hour limits, but operators must comply with Clearwater's general noise ordinance found in Code Chapter 23 (Peace, Society, and Cause), which restricts unreasonable noise during nighttime hours, and with public nuisance provisions. Sales typically run during daylight hours from early morning until evening to comply with these collateral rules. Signs advertising the sale are regulated by CDC Article 3 Division 18 and must be removed promptly after the event ends.
Operating beyond three days, generating nighttime noise, or leaving signs up after the sale can result in code compliance notices and daily civil penalties.
