Quiet hours in Post Falls, ID — also called the noise ordinance, nighttime noise rules, or residential quiet time — define the hours during which excessive noise is prohibited.
Unincorporated Kootenai County has no fixed clock-hour quiet-hours ordinance. Noise is handled under Idaho's disturbing-the-peace statute (18-6409). Cities like Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls and Hayden set their own hourly quiet limits, so check your city code first.
Idaho counties zone the unincorporated county under the Local Land Use Planning Act, but Kootenai County has not adopted a countywide numeric quiet-hours ordinance with set nighttime times. Instead, loud or unusual noise that disturbs neighbors is enforced through Idaho Code 18-6409, disturbing the peace. Incorporated cities within the county (Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls, Hayden, Rathdrum) each adopt their own noise chapters and quiet-hour windows. If you live inside a city, that city code governs your quiet hours, not the county.
Disturbing the peace under Idaho Code 18-6409 is a misdemeanor. City noise violations carry their own civil or infraction penalties set by each municipal code.
