Outdoor music at private residences, wineries, and event venues in unincorporated Riverside County must meet Ord. 847 limits and typically requires a permit for amplification after 10 p.m.
Outdoor live or amplified music in unincorporated Riverside County is regulated under Ordinance No. 847 and, for venues, by individual conditional use or winery permits. Residential backyards may host acoustic or lightly amplified music during daytime hours so long as it stays under 55 dBA at the neighbor's property line. After 10:00 p.m., the 45 dBA nighttime limit plus plainly-audible standard applies. Established venues in the Temecula Valley Wine Country, the Coachella Valley, and along Highway 74 typically operate under CUPs that specify maximum dBA, stage orientation, and cutoff times (often 10 p.m. weekdays / 11 p.m. weekends). Temporary Outdoor Event permits from the Planning Department can authorize concerts, weddings, and festivals with extended hours and higher dBA caps, subject to security and neighbor-notification conditions. Short-term rentals cannot host amplified outdoor music under Ord. 927 STR rules.
Fines begin around $100; venue violations can trigger CUP review and permit revocation hearings.
