Full Breakdown

Marysville Municipal Code § 6.76.060(2) makes it unlawful to let a vehicle horn or siren sound frequently, repeatedly, or continuously, except as a genuine danger warning or when required by law. The city has no separate car-alarm ordinance: this general noise-nuisance provision is what Marysville Police cites against alarms left blaring. A first violation is a $250 civil infraction under MMC § 6.76.090; a repeat within 24 hours of a citation or police warning becomes a misdemeanor. The community development director can grant a variance from the chapter for a $50 fee, but only for defined hardship circumstances.
