| Permit Needed For Outdoor Amplified
Sound |
| Do you need this permit? |
| |
Amplified outdoor sound of live or
recorded music or other sounds - by more than normal household
portable stereo equipment -- requires a permit from the City
of Santa Clara. Permits are for single/one time events only.
Permit request forms must be submitted with a payment of $30
at least two weeks prior to the event. Use of amplified outdoor
sound beyond 10 p.m. requires City Council approval.
Amplified sound permit request forms can be obtained and submitted
at the Municipal Services/Business Tax Division window of the
Finance Department in City Hall, 1500 Warburton Ave. Amplified
sound permit request forms for Central Park may be obtained
and submitted at the Community Recreation Center, 969 Kiely
Blvd. You may also use the permit
form (PDF) on this website.
The requirement is designed to help minimize neighborhood noise
and make residents conscious of the need to be sensitive to
those around them. Even with a permit, complaints from neighbors
about the amplification can result in a police visit and the
plug being pulled.
All permit request applications for residential addresses are
checked with the Police Department Records Division to determine
whether there have been disturbances at that location in the
past year. Previous violations can be a reason for denial of
the amplified sound permit.
For information call (408) 615-2310. |
