Outdoor music in Flower Mound is governed by Sec. 34-131 of the Code of Ordinances. Private residents hosting outdoor gatherings with live or recorded music must keep sound levels reasonable and should not create disturbances audible beyond their property boundary. There is no blanket curfew time after which outdoor music is prohibited, but complaints are more likely to result in enforcement action during evening and nighttime hours. Commercial venues along FM 2499 and in the Lakeside DFW area that host outdoor music must operate within the conditions of their Specific Use Permit, which typically limit outdoor amplification hours and require sound-directed away from residential areas. The Town hosts community events at Heritage Park, Bakersfield Park, and other public venues under special event permits that include approved sound plans and defined end times. HOA community pools and clubhouses in neighborhoods like Canyon Falls and Bridlewood may have their own outdoor music policies through CC&Rs.
Noise complaints may result in fines up to $500 under Sec. 34-131. Commercial venues violating SUP conditions face potential permit review or revocation.
