Wichita does not impose strict hourly time restrictions on garage sales but regulates them through general noise and nuisance ordinances. Sales should be conducted during reasonable daytime hours.
While the municipal code does not specify exact start and end times for garage sales, they are subject to the city's general noise ordinance and nuisance provisions. Sales are typically conducted during daylight hours, generally between 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM. Early morning setup that creates excessive noise may violate the noise ordinance. Sales conducted after dark may generate complaints and are impractical. The city's noise ordinance restricts unreasonable noise that disturbs neighbors at any hour but is more strictly enforced during nighttime hours.
Garage sale activities that generate noise complaints may be cited under the nuisance ordinance. Early morning or late evening activities that disturb neighbors can result in noise violation citations.
