Quiet hours in Brandon, FL — also called the noise ordinance, nighttime noise rules, or residential quiet time — define the hours during which excessive noise is prohibited.
Brandon is unincorporated Hillsborough County, so noise is regulated by the County's Noise Control Ordinance in Code of Ordinances Part A, Chapter 36, Article VI, Division 2 (Sec. 36-429 et seq.). The Code defines a 'noise disturbance' rather than setting fixed quiet hours.
The County ordinance prohibits any sound that is unreasonably loud, jarring, raucous, or disturbing, or that injures or endangers health, property, or the peace and quiet of the neighborhood. Decibel-based limits are enforced concurrently by the Environmental Protection Commission of Hillsborough County (EPC) under the Noise Pollution Rule. Brandon residents are subject to both Chapter 36 (enforced by the Sheriff) and EPC noise rules.
Violations of Chapter 36 are second-degree misdemeanors under Sec. 1-6 (max $500 / 60 days) and may also be cited as County Code violations carrying civil fines through the Special Magistrate.
