Phoenix does not set specific clock-hour restrictions for garage sales beyond the 3-day duration limit. Sales should operate during reasonable daytime hours to comply with residential noise ordinances (quiet hours 10 PM-7 AM). All items and signage must be cleaned up at the conclusion of the sale.
Phoenix 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.
