Quiet hours in Davis County, UT — also called the noise ordinance, nighttime noise rules, or residential quiet time — define the hours during which excessive noise is prohibited.
Davis County sets no countywide quiet-hours law; each city does. In Bountiful, loading, construction, power equipment and garbage collection are unlawful between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. In Layton, sound devices may not be plainly audible at your property line from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m.
There is no single Davis County noise curfew for residents; most people live in cities that set their own rules, and the unincorporated county relies on general nuisance law. Bountiful City Code 8-7-101 makes it unlawful to disturb the quiet, comfort or repose of any person in their dwelling with unreasonably loud noise, and 8-7-102 lists specific acts unlawful between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. (loading, construction, commercial power equipment over five horsepower, and garbage collection). Layton (Ord. 08-20) bars operating any radio, player, TV, instrument or sound device between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. in a way plainly audible at the property boundary. Check your specific city code.
Enforced as a class B misdemeanor in Layton; Bountiful cites nuisance/city-code violations. Actual emergencies and snow removal are exempt.
