Omaha restricts garage sale hours to daytime periods to minimize neighborhood disruption. Sales must comply with noise ordinance quiet hours and may not operate during early morning or late evening.
Garage sales should operate during reasonable daytime hours, generally between 7 AM and 9 PM. Setup activities that generate noise before 7 AM may violate OMC Chapter 17 (Noise Control). Sales on Sundays follow the same general hours. Lighting for evening sales must not create light trespass onto neighboring properties. Signage for garage sales must be removed promptly when the sale is not in progress.
Operating outside permitted hours or creating noise during quiet hours may result in noise violation citations under OMC Chapter 17. Fines for noise violations start at $100.
