Outdoor music at homes and venues in unincorporated Lake County must not become excessive noise under Sec. 14-34. Permitted special events, organized sporting events and lawful parades are exempt. Time of day and nearness to homes drive whether music is cited.
There is no dedicated outdoor-music ordinance; live and recorded outdoor music is judged under the general excessive-noise standard (Sec. 14-34). Music detectable by a considerable number of persons that causes severe annoyance, or that unreasonably interferes with neighbors' comfortable enjoyment of life, can be cited, especially at night or near sleeping areas. Sec. 14-37 exempts sounds from events with an approved special-event permit, organized sporting events, fireworks and permitted parades on public property. Venues and homeowners hosting recurring outdoor amplified music should consider a special-event permit and keep sound reasonable for the zoning and hour. Cities within the county set their own outdoor-entertainment rules.
Excessive noise (Sec. 14-34): $150 first uncontested citation, $300 repeat, court up to $500; also enforceable as a public nuisance by injunction.
