Industrial and commercial properties in Pinellas Park must comply with the city's general noise ordinance and Pinellas County's decibel limits, which set property-line maximums based on the receiving zoning district.
Pinellas Park applies its Chapter 16 noise rules in conjunction with Pinellas County Code Chapter 58, Article XII, which establishes maximum allowable industrial or commercial noise (Section 58-450). Sound emanating from industrial or commercial property is generally limited to 75 dBA at the property line during daytime hours and 70 dBA at night when received by another industrial parcel; lower limits apply when noise reaches commercial (65/60 dBA) or residential (60/55 dBA) zones. Industrial users must also comply with FDEP regulations for operations affecting air or vibrational quality.
Exceeding allowable decibel limits can produce code citations, civil fines, and zoning enforcement actions, with potential business license review for chronic violators.
