Eagle Mountain, UT Noise Ordinances: Quiet Hours (2026)

EMMC 8.15.070(C) sets Eagle Mountain's standard quiet hours at 9:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., the window during which the zone-based decibel caps in Table 8.15.070(1) apply. Two carve-outs push those hours later. Under EMMC 8.15.070(D)(1), noise restrictions inside any city park don't start until 10:00 p.m. and end at 6:00 a.m., an hour shorter on each end than the citywide window. Under EMMC 8.15.070(D)(2), privately owned golf courses get their own carve-out for maintenance activities, with restricted hours running from 10:00 p.m. to 5:30 a.m., recognizing that course maintenance crews often start before dawn.

Outside of restricted hours, sound is still regulated under the chapter's general "noise disturbance" standard, but the numeric per se decibel caps specifically apply during these restricted windows. The chapter's penalty section, EMMC 8.15.040, makes any violation of Chapter 8.15, including a quiet-hours violation, a Class B misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 or up to six months of incarceration, or both. Enforcement falls to the mayor or the mayor's designated agent under EMMC 8.15.030, and construction work has its own separate carve-out under EMMC 8.15.080(G), allowing the city engineer to authorize extended-hour construction for public-safety, traffic-flow or utility-tie-in reasons.
