Sarasota County does not set aircraft noise limits. Aircraft in flight and airport operations are regulated by the FAA under federal law; the Sarasota Manatee Airport Authority manages noise programs at Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (SRQ).
Federal law (the Federal Aviation Act and the Airport Noise and Capacity Act, 49 U.S.C. 47501 et seq.) preempts local governments from regulating aircraft noise in flight, so Sarasota County's Ch. 54 sound-control code does not cover overflights. Noise near SRQ is addressed through FAA-approved procedures and the airport authority's Part 150 noise-compatibility efforts. Residents with overflight concerns should contact the Sarasota Manatee Airport Authority or the FAA rather than county code enforcement.
Not enforced by the county. Aircraft noise complaints go to the airport authority or the FAA; there is no county fine.
