Scottsdale does not impose strict time restrictions specific to garage sales, but sales should be conducted during reasonable daytime hours and comply with the city's noise ordinance. Evening sales with lighting and late-night activity may trigger noise and nuisance complaints.
Scottsdale does not have a specific ordinance establishing garage sale hours. Sales are expected to be conducted during reasonable daytime hours, typically sunrise to sunset. Evening garage sales are not expressly prohibited but may generate noise and lighting complaints from neighbors under Chapter 19 (Offenses—Miscellaneous) of the Revised Code. Garage sale signage is subject to temporary sign regulations and may only be displayed during the sale. The hot desert climate means many Scottsdale garage sales are held in the cooler early morning hours, particularly during summer months when temperatures can exceed 110°F.
Garage sales causing noise disturbances outside reasonable hours may result in police response under the noise ordinance.
