NOISE PERMITS
The purpose of this information sheet is to acquaint you with the
necessary requirements to obtain a noise permit, which is required
under City Ordinance 94-04, if you are having a gathering or some
outside activity in which noise will be a factor.
The application may be obtained by contacting the appropriate District
Commander at 871-5034. A five (5) business day period is required to
process the request. Informing the department of where the event will
be held will determine what District Commander will issue the permit.
Please be specific as to what type of noise you have planned, i.e., band,
disc jockey, etc. Please keep in mind that the noise permit allows you to
have a reasonable level of sound. Any band, disc jockey, etc., that is
deemed unreasonable will result in the permit being voided at the scene
by the supervisor. It is not recommended that an outside disc jockey or
band be utilized in a residential area.
Please keep in mind that any outside loudspeaker system, band, etc., is
prohibited between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Therefore,
you should choose the hours carefully.
If you plan to hold a party inside your residence, no need exists for the
permit; however, should the party becomes loud, police will ask you – as
in any case – to lower the volume. To disregard this warning could
result in a citation.
The goal of our department is to allow citizens to have a function but
also protect other citizens from being disturbed. We are anxious to
work with everyone to ensure your function is a success.
Please contact the District Commanders Office – 871-5034 – if you have
questions in this area or write to the following address:
