Amplified music rules in Kissimmee, FL — also called sound permit, PA system, or live music ordinances — set decibel limits, time-of-day restrictions, and when permits are required.
Sec. 22-27 prohibits outdoor mechanical loudspeakers and amplified sound between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. citywide. The Downtown CRA is exempt from the 1,000-foot setback from schools, courts, and hospitals but still must comply with the 85/70 dBA Table 2 caps.
Under Sec. 22-27(b)(1), continual outdoor use of loudspeakers and sound-amplification devices must (a) not interfere with permitted events, (b) not be within 1,000 feet of another permitted special event, (c) not be at a fully enclosed restaurant/bar without an approved outdoor space, and (d) not operate 10 p.m.-7 a.m. except via extended-hours approval by the city manager. Sec. 22-27(c)(3) requires sidewalk-cafe speakers to point downward and inward toward patrons, away from streets and adjacent businesses. Restaurants and bars at fixed locations need either a permanent installation reviewed under the Land Development Code or a special-event permit (Sec. 14-6-28). Vehicle-mounted sound trucks need a separate permit from the chief of police under Sec. 38-194.
Class C noncriminal infraction. Sliding-scale fines under Sec. 1-22(b)(8): $50/$100/$250/$500 within 12 months. Repeat violations at a fixed venue can lead to conditions on the business tax receipt or special-use permit. Court costs up to $100 per Sec. 22-26.
