Irvine does not impose specific city-wide time restrictions on garage sales beyond noise ordinance requirements. However, HOA communities often specify permitted hours for garage sales, typically limiting them to daytime weekend hours. The city's noise ordinance restricts excessive noise during early morning and evening hours.
Irvine allows garage and yard sales during designated hours, typically 8 AM to 6 PM or sunrise to sunset. Some cities restrict sales to specific days, commonly Thursday through Sunday. Sales must not create noise or traffic that disturbs neighbors. All merchandise, tables, and signs must be removed or stored out of sight after sale hours. Items left at the curb after the sale may be considered property blight. Adequate off-street parking for shoppers is recommended to avoid street congestion.
Operating outside allowed hours: $25 to $100. Items left out after sale: property blight citation $50 to $200.
