Loud parties in unincorporated Miami-Dade trigger Chapter 21 disorderly conduct enforcement and Chapter 8CC noise civil penalties. Hosts of repeat unruly gatherings face escalating fines and possible cost-recovery for officer response time.
Miami-Dade Chapter 21 makes loud, unreasonable noise that disturbs the peace a misdemeanor. Chapter 19 sets quiet hours (typically 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. Sunday-Thursday, midnight to 7 a.m. Friday-Saturday) for residential noise. Chapter 8CC schedules civil penalties starting around $250 for a first offense and rising to $1,500 for repeat events at the same address. Short-term-rental hosts face additional consequences under Ordinance 14-77, including possible registration revocation. Officers may break up the party and require guests to leave. Property owners can be cited even when not present.
Civil fines $250-$1,500 under Chapter 8CC. Aggravated cases bring second-degree misdemeanor charges under Chapter 21 (up to 60 days jail, $500 fine).
