Garage sale hours in Bergen County are set by each municipality. Typical limits run 8:00 a.m. or 9:00 a.m. to dusk, often capped at one to three consecutive days, with no overnight setup or signage.
Bergen County does not set garage sale hours; the rules come from each municipality's licensing chapter. Across the county, common time-of-day limits are 8:00 a.m. or 9:00 a.m. to sundown, with no sales permitted after dark. Most municipalities cap a single permitted sale at one to three consecutive days. Sign placement is also regulated: signs are often allowed only on the property holding the sale, must be removed within 24 hours after the sale ends, and cannot be posted on utility poles, county road signs, or in the public right-of-way without permission.
Operating outside permitted hours, posting signs in the right-of-way, or failing to remove signs can result in summonses and fines under the local ordinance.
