Escondido garage sales may operate 7 AM-7 PM daily under Muni Code §17-195. Sales outside these hours or exceeding 3 consecutive days are prohibited and subject to citation.
Per Escondido Municipal Code §17-195.04, residential yard and garage sales may only operate between 7 AM and 7 PM. These hours align with the city's general noise quiet hours (10 PM-7 AM) and discourage early-morning foot traffic and parking disruption in residential neighborhoods. Sales cannot extend more than 3 consecutive days (for example, Friday-Saturday-Sunday is permitted, but a four-day event is not). Holiday weekends are counted the same as regular weekends. Signs must be removed immediately at close of sale — overnight sign posting is a separate violation.
Operating outside 7 AM-7 PM: $100 citation. Exceeding 3 consecutive days: $250. Combined with noise complaint: additional $500 under §17-225.
