St. Petersburg garage sales must operate during daylight hours under Section 16.50.160, generally from sunrise to sunset, with no nighttime sales or amplified-sound advertising allowed.
Section 16.50.160 requires that residential garage and yard sales take place during daylight to limit traffic, lighting, and noise impacts on neighbors. Sales typically open at or after sunrise and end at or before sunset on each permitted day. Amplified music, loudspeakers, and external lighting used to promote a garage sale are not permitted, and signage cannot be installed in the public right-of-way or on traffic-control devices. The Citywide noise ordinance separately enforces quiet hours for residential districts, so any pre-dawn setup or late-evening teardown that creates disturbing noise can trigger a separate citation.
Citations for after-hours operation, illegal off-site signage, and violation of related noise rules; repeat offenses count toward the annual sale limit.
