Carrollton vs Garland

Can Dallas County set a curfew on flights over my house?

No. Aircraft-in-flight regulation is preempted by federal law (49 U.S.C. 40103). Only the FAA can impose flight restrictions, and airports may only adopt voluntary or FAA-approved noise abatement procedures.

Where do I file an aircraft noise complaint in Dallas County?

Contact the noise office for the relevant airport: DFW Airport Noise Office for DFW flights, or the Dallas Love Field Noise Compatibility Office for Love Field. Include date, time, and location so the complaint can be matched to flight track data.

Are there rules about helicopters or drones over unincorporated Dallas County?

Both are governed primarily by FAA rules: manned helicopters under 14 CFR Part 91, small drones under 14 CFR Part 107. Texas Government Code Chapter 423 adds state privacy restrictions on UAS use, but Dallas County itself has no operational noise ordinance for aircraft.

Where do I complain about a low or loud aircraft over Garland?

Use the DFW Airport noise complaint form or call the Love Field noise office; the city cannot regulate aircraft in flight.

Can a neighbor fly a drone over my Garland yard?

Drones must follow FAA rules and Texas privacy law; persistent low hovering creating noise can be reported to Garland police.
