Hudson County garage and yard sales must operate within daytime hours, typically 8 AM to 6 PM. Jersey City and Hoboken permit weekend sales Friday through Sunday. All merchandise and signage must be cleared by end of permitted hours each day. Stoop sales in dense brownstone blocks may have pedestrian flow requirements.
Hudson County garage sale hours reflect both quiet-hour concerns and pedestrian congestion issues in dense brownstone neighborhoods. Jersey City Code §254 permits yard sales between 8 AM and 6 PM on Saturday and Sunday (some zones also permit Friday). Hoboken Code §202 allows 8 AM to 6 PM Saturday and Sunday. Sunday morning hours in some historic districts may start at 9 AM to respect local worship patterns. All merchandise, tables, and display items must be removed from the stoop, sidewalk, or yard at the end of each sale day. Unsold items cannot be left at the curb for bulk pickup unless an authorized bulk pickup is scheduled. Signs must come down within 24 hours of sale conclusion per Jersey City's sign ordinance. Stoop sales in dense Hoboken and Jersey City brownstone blocks must maintain clear pedestrian passage on sidewalks — ADA-compliant 36 inch minimum clearance. Pop-up awnings, tents, or canopies extending into the public right-of-way typically require separate permit. Amplified music during sales must still comply with the 65 dBA daytime noise limit.
Operating outside permitted hours in JC: $25 to $100. Items left out after sale: property blight citation $50 to $200. Blocking sidewalk pedestrian flow: $50 to $200 plus order to clear. Sign violations not removed: $25 to $50 per sign.
