A St. Johns County garage sale may run no more than three consecutive days under the Land Development Code. Daytime hours are the norm, with the county noise ordinance barring the early-morning and late-night disturbance a sale might otherwise generate.
Duration is fixed by the Land Development Code: a residential garage or yard sale runs no more than three consecutive days, once per six-month period. The code sets the day limit rather than exact clock hours, so the practical constraint is daytime operation. St. Johns County's noise ordinance backstops it, barring unreasonable early-morning and late-night noise, which keeps sales, signage takedown, and haggling to reasonable daylight hours. Sellers are also expected to remove directional and advertising signs promptly once the sale ends, since abandoned signs in the right-of-way are a code violation on their own. HOA and CDD covenants can narrow the window further, dictating both the days and the hours a sale may operate.
Running a sale beyond three consecutive days violates the Land Development Code. Generating early-morning or late-night noise breaches the county noise ordinance, and leaving sale signs in the right-of-way afterward is a separate code-enforcement violation.
