Lewisville Noise Ordinances: Outdoor Music Rules (2026)

Outdoor music in Lewisville, whether live bands, recorded music through speakers, or DJ setups, is regulated under the general noise provisions of Code Chapter 18. The same plainly-audible standard applies: music that can be heard at a neighboring residential property line during quiet hours of 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. is a violation. During daytime, outdoor music is generally tolerated but can be cited if deemed unreasonable. Public outdoor music events require a special events permit from the Parks and Recreation Department. The city hosts regular concerts and festivals at Wayne Ferguson Plaza, Lewisville Lake, and the MCL Grand Theater grounds under city-issued sound permits. Private event venues and wedding facilities near Old Town Lewisville must comply with their site-specific conditional use permits, which typically cap amplified music at 10 p.m. on weeknights. Backyard parties with live bands or large speaker systems are a common complaint source in residential neighborhoods during summer months.
