Columbus does not set specific hours for garage sales in its city code. Garage sales are expected to take place during reasonable daylight hours. Noise from sales must comply with the city's general noise ordinance, which restricts excessive noise during evening and nighttime hours.
While Columbus does not mandate specific start and end times for garage sales, sales are expected to operate during typical daytime hours. Columbus City Code noise provisions restrict disturbing noise, and conducting a loud sale during early morning or evening hours could generate complaints. Most garage sales in Columbus typically run from approximately 8 AM to 5 PM.
Conducting a garage sale that generates excessive noise during quiet hours may result in a noise complaint and code enforcement action.
