Chattanooga police can issue citations for loud parties that disturb neighbors, especially after the 11pm residential quiet hour. Repeat calls to the same downtown or Northshore address can escalate to property-owner notice and disorderly conduct charges for hosts.
Chattanooga Code Chapter 25 Article II prohibits unreasonably loud noise audible at the property line, and CPD enforces a residential quiet period from 11pm to 7am. Officers responding to a loud party in downtown, Northshore, or Southside neighborhoods typically issue a warning on the first call. A second call within a short window can result in a noise citation, alcohol-related charges, or disorderly conduct under state law. Property owners may receive nuisance notices after repeated incidents at rental properties.
Hosts cited for loud parties face fines starting around 50 dollars, escalating with repeat offenses. Disorderly conduct charges are misdemeanors under Tennessee Code Annotated 39-17-305.
