Colorado Springs garage sales limited to 7 AM-7 PM under CSCC §2.3.103, matching the general noise ordinance window. El Paso County unincorporated uses similar daytime hours. Weekend sales (Friday-Sunday) are by far the most common. Signs must be removed at sale end each day.
Colorado Springs City Code §2.3.103 limits garage and yard sale operating hours to 7 AM-7 PM — aligning with the city's general noise ordinance (§9.8.104) quiet hours. Early setup before 7 AM prohibited to prevent neighborhood disturbance. Most garage sales operate 8 AM-3 PM given typical shopper patterns. Sales limited to 3 consecutive days per event. Pikes Peak region weather is a major factor — afternoon thunderstorms (common June-September) often force early closures. Winter garage sales (December-February) rare due to snow and cold. Signs must be removed at the end of each sale day and at final closing under CSCC §7.4.304 — leaving signs up after the sale concludes is a blight violation. All merchandise, tables, and displays must be stored out of public view overnight. Items left at curb between sale days or after closing are subject to $50-$200 blight citations. Manitou Springs limits tourist-district sales more strictly to preserve commercial-district character. Monument, Palmer Lake, and Woodland Park align with the Colorado Springs 7 AM-7 PM window. Black Forest unincorporated allows dawn-to-dusk per county nuisance standards.
Operating outside 7 AM-7 PM in Colorado Springs: $100-$300 noise/nuisance citation. Signs left up after sale: $25-$100 blight citation per occurrence. Items at curb between sale days: $50-$200 property maintenance citation.
