Tampa Code Chapter 14 prohibits unreasonably loud gatherings, with quiet hours enforced from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Tampa Police may issue warnings, citations, or arrest hosts who fail to disperse repeated nuisance parties.
Tampa Code Chapter 14 (Noise) bars any gathering producing sound plainly audible at 100 feet from the property line during night hours. Quiet hours run from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. on weekdays and 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. on weekends. Tampa Police respond to complaints by issuing a warning, citation, or arrest under Code section 14-153 if hosts refuse to disperse. Repeated calls within a rolling 12-month period can trigger nuisance abatement proceedings against rental owners under Code Chapter 17.5 and chronic nuisance liability.
First citations carry fines around 100 dollars, escalating to misdemeanor charges and rental nuisance abatement after repeated violations or failure to disperse on police order.
