Outdoor music in Broward falls under Chapter 27, Sections 27-235 and 27-237. Music must stay at or below 55 dBA (L50) at a receiving residential property line. Special event permits are issued by Broward County Parks.
Broward County regulates outdoor music through its general noise ordinance (Chapter 27, Article VII) rather than a dedicated outdoor-music section. Section 27-237 addresses loudspeakers and public address systems, which cover most outdoor music setups. Concerts, festivals, and park events must keep sound at or below 55 dBA (L50) and 65 dBA (Lmax) at adjacent residential property lines. Special event permits for county parks (Markham Park, Tradewinds Park, Quiet Waters Park) are administered by the Broward County Parks and Recreation Division and may include noise conditions such as amplifier-output caps, bass-frequency limits, and cutoff times (typically 10 PM on weeknights, 11 PM on Friday and Saturday). FL 877.03 (breach of peace) serves as a statewide fallback for egregious noise. Coastal venues along A1A have additional considerations for sea turtle lighting compliance, but noise rules are governed by the county or the municipality where the event occurs.
Non-criminal citation under 27-241: $50-$250 first offense, $100-$500 repeat. Special event permit revocation is possible for violating permit conditions.
