Topeka's garage-sale rule caps days and frequency, not clock hours, so daytime sales are the norm and general noise limits apply. The unincorporated county sets no hours at all.
Topeka's zoning provision, section 18.210.030, restricts how long a sale runs (four consecutive days) and how often (twice a year), but it doesn't fix specific start and stop times. In practice sales run in daylight, and the general noise ordinance and property-maintenance rules do the rest — amplified sound or an early-morning disturbance can draw a complaint, and goods and signs must be cleared once the sale ends. Unincorporated Shawnee County imposes no garage-sale hours either; timing there is effectively up to you, subject only to nuisance limits and any HOA covenant you're bound by.
There's no hours citation as such. Excessive noise can bring a nuisance complaint, and leaving merchandise or signs out after the sale can prompt a property-maintenance notice inside Topeka.
