Summary
Davie bars noise disturbances from radios, stereos, and gatherings between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m., and lets police cite the property owner directly once the owner has had notice of a prior violation by tenants or guests.

Full Breakdown
Town of Davie Code § 15-3 flatly bars any noise disturbance, and § 15-7(1) specifically targets radios, TVs, stereos, and musical instruments that cross a property line between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. (or into a noise-sensitive zone), unless the gathering is a permitted public event. The section reaches beyond whoever is playing the music: a property owner whose tenants or guests create the disturbance is liable once that owner has knowledge of a prior violation on the property. Daytime residential sound is separately capped at 55 dBA under § 15-4's Table 1. Davie's noise standards apply town-wide and are enforced through civil citation.
Violations & Fines
A noise-disturbance citation carries a civil fine up to $500 per offense under § 15-15; a property owner with knowledge of a prior violation faces the same $500 fine if it happens again.
