Lewisville sits about 10 miles south of DFW International Airport with regular overflight noise. Federal law preempts local regulation of flight paths and altitudes.
Lewisville sits roughly 10 miles south of DFW International Airport, one of the busiest airports in the world. Neighborhoods in northern Lewisville, including Castle Hills and the areas near Lewisville Lake, fall under established departure and arrival corridors. Federal law under 49 U.S.C. 40103 gives the FAA exclusive authority over airspace, flight paths, and aircraft operations, preempting any local ordinance. The city cannot regulate aircraft noise directly. DFW Airport operates a voluntary Noise Compatibility Program under 14 CFR Part 150, which includes noise contour mapping, soundproofing assistance for homes within the 65 DNL contour, and a community hotline for noise complaints. Lewisville residents affected by aircraft noise can file complaints through the DFW Airport Noise Management Office at (972) 973-4420 or online via the DFW noise portal. The airport also maintains a Noise Roundtable with local officials from surrounding cities including Lewisville.
No local penalties. Aircraft noise complaints are handled by the DFW Airport Noise Management Office.
