Garage sales allowed daytime hours only — typically 7:00 AM to sunset. Must comply with Suwanee noise ordinance (no amplified sound) and sign rules (no off-premise signs). Each sale limited to 3 consecutive days.
Suwanee regulates garage/yard sales through its Unified Development Code and general nuisance provisions. Set-up and active selling cannot begin before 7:00 AM to avoid violating the city's noise ordinance, and all signage, merchandise, and displays must be removed from front yards and rights-of-way by sunset each day. Sales are capped at 3 consecutive days and typically 4 events per calendar year per household. Off-premise directional signs on utility poles, medians, or in the public right-of-way along Peachtree Industrial Blvd, Lawrenceville-Suwanee Rd, and neighborhood entrances are prohibited and routinely removed by code enforcement. Amplified sound (speakers, PA systems) to advertise the sale triggers GA Code §16-11-34 disorderly conduct enforcement if neighbors complain.
First offense: warning and sign removal. Repeat offenders may receive citations under Suwanee's code enforcement process, with fines up to $500 for illegal signage in the right-of-way and separate noise-ordinance citations for amplified advertising.
