No county ordinance sets garage-sale hours in unincorporated Clay County. Cities do: Gladstone limits sales to daylight hours. Absent a city rule or HOA covenant, only noise-nuisance limits apply.
The unincorporated county imposes no hours on residential yard sales because it does not regulate the sales at all — there is no county start time, end time, or day-of-week restriction. The constraints are municipal or indirect. Gladstone's Residential Sales Regulations require sales to be conducted during daylight hours, and other Clay County cities set comparable windows. Outside the cities, the only real limits are general nuisance rules — amplified sound or early-morning disturbance can draw a complaint — and any HOA covenant fixing daytime-only hours. If you live inside a city, follow that city's hours; if you're in the unincorporated county, timing is effectively up to you.
No county hours citation exists in unincorporated areas. Inside a city like Gladstone, selling outside daylight hours violates the residential-sales code; excessive noise can draw a nuisance complaint anywhere.
