Tucson does not have specific codified hours for garage sales, but sales are expected to operate during reasonable daytime hours. Generally, garage sales take place between 7 AM and 6 PM. Sales conducted during early morning or evening hours that generate noise, traffic, or lighting complaints may trigger code enforcement under the neighborhood preservation and noise ordinances.
While no specific garage sale hours are codified, residential noise ordinances and neighborhood preservation standards apply. Sales that create excessive traffic, noise, or lighting during early morning or late evening hours may result in complaints. Most community-organized and multi-family sales typically run from 7 AM to 2 PM. Lighting for evening sales must comply with the Outdoor Lighting Code.
Sales generating noise complaints during quiet hours (10 PM to 7 AM) may result in noise ordinance violations. Lighting for evening sales that violates the Outdoor Lighting Code can result in separate citations.
