Harris County has no time-of-day restrictions for garage sales in unincorporated areas. Hours are left to property owner discretion. Subdivision deed restrictions may specify permitted sale hours. General nuisance standards apply after dark.
Unincorporated Harris County does not regulate garage sale hours. Property owners set their own hours of operation. Texas Penal Code §42.01 (Disorderly Conduct) prohibits unreasonable noise at any time, which may apply to early morning or late night sale activity. Subdivision deed restrictions commonly limit garage sales to daytime hours, typically 7 AM to 7 PM or similar. Lighting for evening sales is not regulated by the county but may be restricted by deed covenants or HOA rules.
