No county ordinance sets yard-sale hours in unincorporated Lee County; daytime is customary and noise-nuisance rules still apply. Auburn and Opelika may fix permitted hours and sign timing within city limits.
Lee County imposes no hours on residential yard sales in the unincorporated area; it holds no authority to regulate the sales themselves, so a resident can open and close whenever they choose. The real constraints there are indirect: amplified sound or an early-morning disturbance can fall under general noise-nuisance rules, and leftover goods left out overnight become a junk nuisance under §45-41-170.01. Inside Auburn and Opelika, city codes tie sales to daylight hours and require signs to come down promptly after the sale. Common practice countywide is a daytime, weekend-heavy sale with everything cleaned up by dusk.
No county hours violation exists in unincorporated areas; enforcement comes through noise-nuisance abatement or junk cleanup under §45-41-170.01. Inside the cities, selling outside permitted hours or leaving signs up can draw a citation.
