Loudspeakers

Rule

Permitted residents and businesses may use a loudspeaker for outdoor events and parties.  Several such events occur in the community each year, but a loudspeaker permit must be issued for each one.

Loudspeaker permit applicants must first notify all neighboring property owners within a 200-foot radius of the proposed loudspeaker location for the planned event. A permit will not be issued if a neighbor objects.

The applicant must agree to supervise the person or group in control of the amplifiers or loudspeaker equipment. All noise must end by 10 p.m. or immediately if a complaint of excess noise and subsequent determination of a violation is made by a police officer.

Cost for processing a loudspeaker permit application is $22. Applications must be turned in at least five business days in advance of the event. If the loudspeaker is approved, the Licensing Clerk will provide the applicant and Fire, Police and Public Works departments with copies of the application.
