Amplified music rules in Orange County, FL — also called sound permit, PA system, or live music ordinances — set decibel limits, time-of-day restrictions, and when permits are required.
Amplified music audible beyond property lines is prohibited between 11 PM and 7 AM under Orange County Code Chapter 15. Special event permits are required for outdoor amplified events at venues outside the tourism corridor.
Residential properties cannot produce plainly audible amplified music beyond 100 feet between 10 PM and 7 AM. The International Drive Community Redevelopment Area and theme park properties operate under separate entertainment venue rules. DJs and live music at STR homes (short-term rentals) trigger enhanced enforcement given Orange County's heavy STR footprint around Disney.
Citation of 250 to 1,000 dollars. Equipment subject to seizure after repeat violations. STR permits may be revoked.
