Summary
Lehi's noise chapter lets the city hold a host responsible for a loud party even if someone else made the actual noise: the property owner, tenant or person in control of the premises can be cited for permitting or failing to prevent a violation, alongside anyone who aids or encourages it.
The following persons or entities may be held responsible for any violation of this chapter: A. The individual who creates, causes, or allows the noise, whether intentionally or through negligence. B. Any business, contractor, or operator that owns, controls, or uses the equipment, activity, or operation producing the noise. C. The property owner, tenant, or person in control of the premises where the noise originates, if they permit, allow, or fail to prevent the violation. D. Anyone that aids, abets or encourages or in any other way is an accomplice to the violation.
Full Breakdown
" Responsibility can land on one party or several at once. That liability attaches to Lehi's numeric noise limits in section 5-3-6: a residential or agricultural property receiving amplified music or other intentionally caused noise cannot exceed 65 dBA in the day or 55 dBA at night, measured at the property line or fifty feet from the source under section 5-3-5. Lehi separately lists "party houses" as a nuisance in section 5-2-3(B)(4) when parties occur frequently enough to create nuisance conditions, giving code enforcement a second track to abate a chronic problem address rather than a single loud night.
Violations & Fines
A noise violation tied to a party is a class C misdemeanor under section 5-3-8, punishable under section 1-4-1 by a fine of up to $750 for an individual or $1,000 for a corporation, with each day a violation continues counted as a separate offense; responsibility can be assessed against the host, the property owner or both under section 5-3-7A.
