Murrieta garage sales must operate during daytime hours, generally 7:00 AM to dusk or 7:00 PM, with no early-morning setup or after-dark activity that disturbs neighbors.
Garage sales in Murrieta must be conducted during daylight hours to avoid disturbing residential neighbors. Typical allowed hours are 7:00 AM to dusk or 7:00 PM, consistent with the general daytime construction noise window. Early-morning setup with loud activity, such as moving furniture or calling to customers, is restricted by the noise ordinance (MMC 9.02). Operating past sunset with exterior lighting that shines onto neighboring properties is also prohibited. Signs should be posted only during active sale hours and removed promptly at the end of each day, with all signs taken down within 24 hours after the sale ends. Amplified music, food sales, and other event-style elements are not permitted at residential garage sales and may require separate special event permits. Complaints about garage sale noise, traffic, or lighting are handled by Code Enforcement during business hours and by Murrieta Police after hours.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Murrieta code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
