Charlotte County sets no fixed garage-sale hours for unincorporated areas, but each sale is capped at three days, twice a year, with daytime weekend sales the norm and signs and goods cleared afterward.
Unincorporated Charlotte County doesn't post specific garage-sale hours, so residents keep to reasonable daylight times - typically morning to late afternoon on weekends. What the county does fix is duration: no single sale may run more than three days, and no more than two sales a year. Everything - tables, unsold goods, and directional signs - must come off the yard and the road right-of-way when the sale ends; items left curbside become a property-maintenance issue. The City of Punta Gorda sets its own permit and four-day limit, and HOA subdivisions may fix explicit hours and days.
Running a sale beyond three days or twice a year draws a code-compliance citation. Merchandise or signs left out after the sale become a property-maintenance or illegal-sign violation.
