Hinds County has no county-wide garage sale hour ordinance. Jackson (Code §86-261 et seq.) caps sales at daylight hours and limits each address to a few sales per year. Unincorporated areas rely on general nuisance rules.
In unincorporated Hinds County, yard and garage sales are not specifically regulated by time and operate under general peace/nuisance provisions. Inside the City of Jackson (the county seat), the Code of Ordinances Chapter 86 treats repeated yard sales as commercial activity; sales must occur during daylight hours and are typically limited to three sales per address per calendar year, each not exceeding three consecutive days. Clinton, Byram, and Raymond similarly restrict signage and frequency but not precise hours. Signs posted on utility poles or in MDOT right-of-way along US-80, I-20, or I-55 will be removed by public works.
Jackson: operating beyond permitted frequency or in violation of sign rules - $50 to $500 code enforcement citation under §1-8 general penalty. Sign removal costs billed to property owner.
