Yuba City, CA Public Conduct: Loud Party Ordinance (2026)

24 of the Noise Regulations chapter authorizes the City to collect a "second response fee" once an officer at a loud party or gathering determines the noise or conduct threatens public peace, health, safety or general welfare. The person in charge of the premises and the person responsible for organizing the event become jointly and severally liable for the cost of police personnel assigned to the location on a special security basis, over and above the patrol services the department normally provides in that area.

If either responsible person is a minor, liability shifts to that minor's parents or guardians instead. The ordinance treats the officer's on-scene warning to control the disturbance as the trigger for special-assignment status, meaning the City does not need a second call or a second visit before costs start accruing; a single escalation that draws extra personnel is enough. 24 expressly includes personnel and equipment costs, damage to City property, and injuries to City personnel arising from the response. 30 against a location with repeated loud-party problems, so a host can face both a noise citation and a separate cost-recovery bill from the same incident.
