Outdoor music in unincorporated St. Lucie County must stay within the § 28-110 dB limits; relief requires a special permit from the county commission (§ 28-112). Port St. Lucie exempts permitted public performances, gatherings and park events from its amplified-sound curfew (Sec. 94.06(c)).
The county noise chapter has no separate 'live music' section, so outdoor bands, DJs and speakers are measured against the Sec. 28-110 receiving-property limits (residential 60 day / 55 night). To exceed them lawfully, an event organizer applies to the Board of County Commissioners for a special permit under Sec. 28-112, granted only on a finding of undue hardship, temporary duration, and no reasonable alternative, with conditions to limit neighborhood impact. In Port St. Lucie, Sec. 94.06(c)'s residential amplified-sound curfew expressly does 'not apply to any public performance, gathering, parade or park activities for which a permit has been obtained from the city,' so permitted outdoor concerts and festivals are allowed under their permit terms.
Unpermitted outdoor amplified music exceeding the dB limits is a noise disturbance under Code § 1-7 (county) or Sec. 94.09 (Port St. Lucie). Violating a granted special permit's conditions makes the holder and violator jointly and severally liable.
