Fairfax County Code Chapter 108.1 restricts loud parties between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., with FCPD authorized to issue citations and possible misdemeanor charges for repeat disturbances under VA Code Section 18.2-415.
Fairfax County Code Chapter 108.1 (Noise Ordinance) establishes nighttime quiet hours from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. weekdays and 10 p.m. to 9 a.m. weekends. Amplified music, loud parties, or shouting audible at the property line during quiet hours violates the ordinance. FCPD officers measure compliance by audibility rather than decibel meters in most cases. Repeat offenders can be charged under VA Code Section 18.2-415 for disorderly conduct. Hosts and homeowners are jointly liable, and second responses within a defined window can trigger response-fee billing in some county pilot programs.
First violations bring warning citations; repeat or escalating disturbances can lead to misdemeanor charges, fines, and possible response-fee billing.
