Newark does not impose specific time restrictions on garage sales beyond noise ordinance requirements under Chapter 20:3 (Noise Control). Sales should be conducted during reasonable daytime hours. The noise ordinance restricts excessive noise during nighttime hours. Neighborhood considerations in dense urban areas make daytime hours particularly important.
Newark 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.
