Garage sale time restrictions in Norfolk County are municipal. Typical allowed hours across Norfolk County towns: 8 AM-6 PM, with weekends (Friday-Sunday) most common. Sales must comply with each town's noise bylaw — amplified calls, music, or excessive chatter at property lines can trigger MassDEP 310 CMR 7.10 enforcement. All merchandise, tables, and signs must be removed or stored by end of sale hours. Items left curbside after the sale can be cited as property blight under municipal property maintenance code. Adequate off-street parking for shoppers is expected; streets cannot be blocked. Street closures for neighborhood sales require police permit.
