DeKalb County garage sales are limited to daytime hours (roughly 7 or 8 AM to sunset). All merchandise and signs must be removed from public view at the end of each day.
DeKalb County permits garage and yard sales during daylight hours only, commonly 7 or 8 AM to sunset or 6 PM, whichever is earlier. Sales must not generate noise audible beyond the property under the general noise ordinance. All tables, racks, and merchandise must be moved out of public view at the end of each day. Signs must be removed within 24 hours after the sale ends. Off-street parking is expected; shoppers parking on narrow residential streets can trigger complaints in older neighborhoods like Decatur (City of Decatur has its own rules), Oak Grove, and Tucker-adjacent areas.
Operating outside allowed hours: $25 to $100. Items left curbside after sale: $50 to $250 property-maintenance citation. Unremoved signs: separate $25 fine per sign.
