No county ordinance sets garage-sale hours in Licking County, and sales run in daylight by common practice. Newark's permit and the cities' noise and property rules are the real constraints, along with clearing everything the same day.
The county does not set a start time, end time or day-of-week limit on residential yard sales, so sales run during daylight, with weekends most common. Newark ties sales to its permit and applies the general noise ordinance, so early-morning or amplified disturbance can draw a complaint even though there is no dedicated sale-hours rule. Heath, Pataskala and Granville similarly lean on noise and property-maintenance codes rather than fixed sale hours. What bites in practice is cleanup and parking: merchandise, tables and signs must come off public view after each day's selling, and shopper parking should not block the street. Keep the sale to reasonable daytime hours and neighbors rarely complain.
No county hours citation exists for the sale itself. Excessive noise can draw a nuisance complaint, and goods or signs left out after the sale can draw a property-maintenance citation in the cities.
