Hernando County rules govern Spring Hill. Outdoor amplified music is regulated under the Sec. 21-135 dBA table - 60 dBA residential day / 55 dBA residential night at the property line, with commercial venues getting 65/60. The 9:00 p.m. drop from 60 to 55 dBA functions as a practical outdoor-music curfew unless the venue holds a county special-event permit.
Outdoor live and amplified music in Spring Hill is regulated under Hernando County Code Ch. 21, Art. VIII, Sec. 21-135 ('Sound level limits'). Sec. 21-136 ('Exceptions') exempts the 'unamplified human voice' and 'unamplified church bells or chimes used for religious purposes' but does NOT exempt amplified music, DJ rigs, PA systems, karaoke, or live bands using amplification - those are fully subject to the Sec. 21-135 dBA caps. The operative limits at the receiving residential property line are 60 dBA from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., dropping to 55 dBA from 9:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. Commercial-zone receivers get 65/60. The 5 dBA nighttime reduction at 9:00 p.m. operates as Spring Hill's de facto outdoor-music curfew - by 9:00 p.m. most outdoor amplified music must either be reduced significantly or moved indoors. Spring Hill's commercial outdoor-music venues are concentrated along U.S. 19 / Commercial Way and Mariner Boulevard (restaurants, bars, pool venues at master-planned communities). Major community events (Hernando County Fair in Brooksville, Spring Hill summer events at Anderson Snow Park, Veterans Memorial Park ceremonies, Timber Pines clubhouse events) operate under Hernando County special-event permits that can authorize amplified sound levels exceeding the Sec. 21-135 caps for the permitted duration and location. Many Spring Hill subdivisions have HOA covenants (Timber Pines, Silverthorn, Glen Lakes, Wellington at Seven Hills) that impose additional restrictions on outdoor amplified music in private yards. Florida Statute § 559.955 (the 'home-based business' statute) generally preempts local restrictions on home-based business activities, but the statute expressly preserves local noise-ordinance authority - so Sec. 21-135 dBA caps still apply to amplified music from a home-based DJ, music-instruction, or band-practice business in Spring Hill.
Citation under Hernando County Code Sec. 21-135 by HCSO (with noise meter) or Code Enforcement, measured at the receiving property line. Persistent commercial-venue violations referred to the Code Enforcement Special Magistrate for escalating daily fines and possible business-tax-receipt review.
