6/12/2016 Tampa, FL Code of Ordinances
Jun 12, 2016
This document presents Tampa's Code of Ordinances Article III on noise regulations, effective June 12, 2016. It establishes maximum sound level limits (measured in dBA and dBC) that vary by location and time of day, with stricter standards in residential areas (55-60 dBA during nighttime hours) compared to the Central Business District, Ybor City Historic District, and Channel District (85 dBA during evening/night hours). The ordinance prohibits unreasonably excessive noise and creates a rebuttable presumption of violation when amplified sound or music is plainly audible at 100 feet or more from its source.
