Loudoun County does not set specific garage sale hours in ordinance, but sales must respect general noise ordinance hours (typically 7 AM to 10 PM, and 9 AM to 10 PM on weekends under Ord. Ch. 684). Most Loudoun garage sales run 8 AM to 2 PM Friday-Sunday. HOAs routinely limit to 8 AM-4 PM. Items, tables, and signs must be removed at sale close. No sales on holidays restricted, but consider traffic impact.
Loudoun County Codified Ordinances do not regulate garage sale hours directly. Indirect hour constraints come from Ordinance Chapter 684 (Noise Control), which sets general residential noise limits 7 AM to 10 PM weekdays and 9 AM to 10 PM on Saturday, Sunday, and holidays. Loud sale activity (amplified music, large crowds, tool demos) outside those hours could trigger noise complaints. Typical local practice: Friday-Sunday, 8 AM to 2 PM. Community-wide sales organized by HOAs in Brambleton, Broadlands, Lansdowne, and One Loudoun often set specific hours like 8 AM-4 PM. Saturday-only sales most common. Leesburg Town Code §26-116 mirrors county practice — no specific hours but general nuisance rules apply. Property maintenance requirements (Ord. Ch. 1040) require items, tables, and signs to be removed from public view at the end of each sale day; unsold items left at the curb for a week may trigger blight citations. Signs in the public right-of-way (VDOT roads, VA Code §33.2-1224) are prohibited and routinely removed by VDOT or sheriff's deputies. Holiday sales (Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day) popular and unrestricted. Weekend sales common due to work schedules.
Noise violation (Ch. 684) outside hours: $100-$500 civil penalty. Signs in VDOT ROW: removal + $25-$100 fine. Items left out post-sale: property maintenance citation $50-$250.
