Amplified music rules in Jurupa Valley, CA — also called sound permit, PA system, or live music ordinances — set decibel limits, time-of-day restrictions, and when permits are required.
Sound-amplifying equipment, live music, and audio equipment may not be audible to the human ear more than 100 feet away at any time of day in Jurupa Valley. No decibel measurement is needed to prove a violation.
Ordinance No. 2015-08 (June 18, 2015) rewrote what is now Municipal Code section 11.05.060(3)-(4), replacing an earlier 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. curfew with a flat round-the-clock standard: amplified sound or live music audible beyond 100 feet is a violation, and this rule overrides conflicting conditions on a land use permit. The same 100-foot audibility cap applies to stereos, televisions, and other audio equipment. Events can seek a continuous-events exception through a Planning Commission public hearing under section 11.05.070, and temporary event permits under section 9.250.060 bar operation between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. in any zone where residential use is permitted.
Each special sound source breach is a separate violation on top of any Table 1 decibel violation, with administrative fines of $200 to $1,000 under section 11.05.080, plus possible criminal prosecution or nuisance injunction.
