Plano does not impose specific time-of-day restrictions on garage sales by ordinance. Sales are expected to occur during reasonable daytime hours. Most garage sales run from early morning to late afternoon. Evening sales with excessive lighting or noise may trigger nuisance complaints. The city's general noise ordinance applies.
Plano's garage sale time restrictions ensure sales occur during reasonable daytime hours and don't create neighborhood disturbances. Typical allowed hours are 7 AM–7 PM or 8 AM–6 PM, depending on local ordinance. Sales may be limited to specific days (Thursday–Sunday is common) or allowed any day within the permitted hours. Setup may begin 30 minutes before the official start time but merchandise display and customer access must wait until the posted start time. Sales must conclude by the posted end time with cleanup completed within 1 hour. All signage, unsold merchandise, and sale-related items must be removed from view by the following morning. Weekend sales near residential areas must respect any additional quiet-hour considerations for early morning setup noise.
Operating outside permitted hours: $50–$100 fine. Sale setup causing early morning noise disturbance: noise ordinance applies. Failure to clean up: property maintenance violation.
