Louisville Metro does not establish specific operating hours for garage sales. Sales are expected to occur during reasonable daytime hours. Noise from early morning setup or late evening activity could trigger a noise complaint under LMCO Chapter 99. Common practice is to operate between 7 AM and 7 PM.
Louisville 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.
