Haltom City quiet hours run 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. daily under Code Chapter 54. Sound plainly audible from an adjoining property during quiet hours is a Class C misdemeanor with fines up to 500 dollars per day.
The Haltom City Code of Ordinances regulates noise disturbances within city limits under Chapter 54. During quiet hours of 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. daily, any sound that is plainly audible from an adjoining property is presumed to be a noise disturbance. Enforcement generally tracks TX Penal Code 42.01 (Disorderly Conduct), which requires an 85 dB threshold and prior warning by a peace officer before citation for unreasonable noise. Haltom City Police Department handles noise complaints and can issue citations after warning. Each continuing day of violation is treated as a separate offense. Because Haltom City sits in the DFW metroplex adjacent to Fort Worth and NRH, ambient noise from aircraft over Meacham and DFW airports and from Loop 820 and SH 121 is considered normal and typically excluded from disturbance determinations. Contact Haltom City at (817) 222-7700 for the code desk.
