Lewisville regulates outdoor music under Ch. 18. Live and recorded music must not be plainly audible at neighboring property during quiet hours of 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.
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.
Class C misdemeanor; fine up to 500 dollars per violation.
