Bernalillo County and Albuquerque have no specific garage sale hour restrictions. Sales must comply with ROA §9-9 noise ordinance — no amplified sound, and noise-sensitive activity between 10 PM and 7 AM triggers violation. Daylight hours (typically 7 AM to dusk) are standard practice.
Bernalillo County Code and the City of Albuquerque do not designate specific garage sale hours. Sales are implicitly limited by the ABQ Noise Ordinance (ROA §9-9) which prohibits noise disturbances between 10:00 PM and 7:00 AM in residential zones (10:00 PM to 8:00 AM on weekends). Practically, nearly all garage sales in the area run 7 AM to 2 PM to avoid afternoon heat in the high desert summer and to align with customer expectations. Amplified music or sound to attract customers requires a special sound permit or is prohibited entirely. Customer parking must not block fire lanes, bike lanes, or mailboxes (USPS federal rule). Items must be pulled back onto the property at day's end; leaving merchandise in public view overnight is a property maintenance violation.
Pre-7 AM or post-10 PM noise: ROA §9-9-99 fine $50 to $500. Amplified sound without permit: $100 to $500. Merchandise left curbside overnight: $50 to $200 property maintenance citation.
