Quiet hours in Maple Grove, MN — also called the noise ordinance, nighttime noise rules, or residential quiet time — define the hours during which excessive noise is prohibited.
Maple Grove regulates noise through its own City Code (Chapter 20, Article III, Division 2 — sections 20-81, 20-82, 20-87, 20-88, 20-89 and 20-91), which prohibit noise and noisy assemblies. For measured limits, Minnesota's state standard (Minn. R. 7030.0040) sets a quieter nighttime cap from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. in residential areas.
Maple Grove is an incorporated city in Hennepin County and adopts its own Code of Ordinances (codified by Municipal Code Corporation / Municode). The city's noise provisions sit in Chapter 20, Article III, Division 2. This is confirmed by the city's adopted rental ordinance (Ord. No. 19-07), which lists "Sections 20-81, 20-82, 20-88, 20-89, and 20-91 of this Code, which prohibit noise and noisy assemblies." Section 20-87 contains the definitions for that division. The city's own Event Permits page tells residents to "refer to the city noise ordinance" for noise questions. Layered over the city code is Minnesota's statewide noise standard, enforced by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency under Minn. R. ch. 7030. The state defines "nighttime" as 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. and "daytime" as 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. (Minn. R. 7030.0020). In residential areas (Noise Area Classification 1), the daytime limits are L10 = 65 dBA and L50 = 60 dBA, dropping at night to L10 = 55 dBA and L50 = 50 dBA (Minn. R. 7030.0040). The practical effect is a quieter window overnight. For loud parties or after-hours disturbances, Maple Grove police enforce the city's noise/noisy-assembly sections; persistent disturbances may also be treated as a public nuisance under City Code §§ 14-31 and 14-32.
Loud or disturbing noise and noisy assemblies are addressed under Maple Grove City Code Chapter 20, Article III, Division 2, and may be charged as a misdemeanor; public-nuisance noise can also be abated under §§ 14-31 and 14-32. The exact penalty text for the Chapter 20 noise sections was not independently verified for this entry. State noise standards (Minn. R. 7030) are enforced by the MPCA and local law enforcement.
