Parma garage sale permits are valid for three consecutive days and Sundays are prohibited. Sales must operate within the daylight hours implied by the noise ordinance (Chapter 634), which limits outdoor amplified sound and disturbance after 9:00 p.m.
Each permit issued by the Parma Safety Department is good for three consecutive days. Sunday sales are not allowed under the program. While the garage sale program does not specify hard start/end clock times, sales operating outside reasonable daylight hours risk violation of Parma 634.02 (noise disturbance) and 634.04 (50 dBA residential nighttime limit after 9:00 p.m.). Signage for sales must comply with Parma's sign code; placement on public right-of-way is generally prohibited.
Operating outside permit dates is treated as operating without a permit (minor misdemeanor). After-hours noise or amplified sound can trigger a separate Chapter 634 noise citation — minor misdemeanor for a first offense, M4 for willful/knowing repeat (up to $250 / 30 days).
