Garage sales in Scott County cities run during daytime hours by custom and the general noise ordinance, not a special permit. Weekend and Thursday-to-Sunday sales are typical, with everything cleaned up by day's end.
No Scott County ordinance fixes garage-sale hours, so timing is governed by common practice and each city's general noise rule. In Shakopee, Savage, and Prior Lake, sales run in daylight, commonly 8 a.m. to dusk, and often cluster Thursday through Sunday. The constraint is disturbance: the cities' noise ordinances bar early-morning or late-night activity a busy sale might create, and property-maintenance rules require tables, racks, and unsold goods pulled out of street view at the end of each day. Temporary directional signs must come down when the sale ends.
Running a sale into late-night hours can draw a noise-ordinance complaint, and leaving merchandise or signs out afterward is a property-maintenance or sign violation, typically $25 to $200.
