There are no specific garage sale hours codified in the LAMC for the City of Los Angeles. Standard residential quiet hours and noise ordinance provisions (LAMC Chapter XI) apply. Sales activity generating noise before 7 AM or after 10 PM could violate noise regulations. Signage on public property is prohibited at all times under LAMC 67.02.
Los Angeles 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.
