Unincorporated San Joaquin County garage/yard sales are limited to daytime hours, typically 7:00 AM to sunset or 7:00 PM (whichever is earlier). All merchandise, tables, and signs must be stored out of public view at the end of each sale day. Items left curbside after sale hours may trigger blight citations.
San Joaquin County permits residential garage/yard sales during daylight hours only. Typical allowable hours are 7:00 AM to sunset or 7:00 PM, whichever is earlier — tied to the general noise and nuisance ordinances limiting residential activity that affects neighbors. Sales are most commonly held Thursday through Sunday. All merchandise, racks, tables, clothing bars, and temporary display equipment must be moved out of public view (garage, backyard, or indoors) at the end of each sale day. Items may NOT be left at the curb, in the driveway, or on the front lawn overnight — the county property-maintenance code treats such material as visible clutter/blight regardless of the sale's status. Signs posted for the sale (on-site only) must be removed within 24 hours of the final sale day. Vehicles of shoppers blocking neighbor driveways, fire hydrants, or mailboxes may be cited by Sheriff's parking enforcement. Early-morning setup noise (banging tables, backing trucks) before 7:00 AM can trigger noise complaints under the general ordinance.
Operating outside allowed hours: $25–$100 first, doubles on repeat. Items left visible after sale: blight citation $50–$200. Signs remaining >24 hrs: $25 plus removal. Vehicle obstruction complaints: towing and $100–$250 parking citations.
