Sale hours are set by city. Franklin and Nolensville limit sales to 7 a.m.–7 p.m. over three consecutive days or two consecutive weekends. Brentwood caps each sale at two consecutive days. Daytime only.
Timing rules come from the cities, not the county. Franklin confines yard sales to 7:00 a.m. through 7:00 p.m. and lets each permitted sale run three consecutive days or two consecutive weekends. Nolensville uses the same 7-to-7, three-day or two-weekend window. Brentwood holds each sale to no more than two consecutive days. Across unincorporated Williamson County there is no fixed hour limit, but general nuisance and noise expectations keep sales in daylight hours, and all merchandise and signs must be cleared once the sale ends.
Running a Franklin sale outside 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., or beyond the permitted day count, is an ordinance violation carrying a fine. Merchandise or signs left out afterward can draw a property-maintenance citation.
