Quiet hours in Utah County, UT — also called the noise ordinance, nighttime noise rules, or residential quiet time — define the hours during which excessive noise is prohibited.
Unincorporated Utah County applies a nuisance-based noise standard under Utah County Code. There are no fixed codified quiet hours for the county; enforcement relies on disturbance and public nuisance determinations. Utah Code §76-9-102 (Disorderly Conduct) provides state-level backup.
Unincorporated Utah County does not publish a standalone noise ordinance with specific quiet-hour windows. Noise complaints in unincorporated areas are handled by the Utah County Sheriff's Office under the general nuisance provisions of Utah County Code and Utah Code §76-9-102 (Disorderly Conduct), which prohibits unreasonable noise that causes public inconvenience, annoyance, or alarm. Practically, noise disturbances after 10 PM in residential areas are consistently enforced. Residents in incorporated cities (Provo, Orem, Lehi, etc.) are subject to their respective city noise ordinances.
First offense: warning or citation $100 to $500. Repeat violations may escalate. Class C misdemeanor under Utah Code §76-9-102: up to $750 fine.
