\nNew Enforcement Options Established for Residential Noise Complaints Following Multi-Agency Collaboration<\/strong><\/p>\n

ORLANDO \u2013 June 25, 2014 \u2013 At the June 24 Orange County Board of County Commissioners meeting, the Commission unanimously approved changes to the Loud Noise Ordinance long championed by Commissioner S. Scott Boyd.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am pleased to see years of collaborative work with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, the County Attorney’s office, County Administration and the Environmental Protection Division (EPD) come to fruition,\u201d said District 1 Commissioner S. Scott Boyd. \u201cI believe the new ordinance will enable Orange County citizens to feel safe, secure and undisturbed by noise that may diminish their quality of life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since 2009, Commissioner Boyd has worked together with multiple agencies to explore additional enforcement options for residential noise complaints.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe original ordinance was geared toward industrial noise and did not address many of the noise issues our residents face today,\u201d he said. \u201cThe new ordinance provides recourse for noise disturbances more common to residential and business zones.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the most notable changes in the new ordinance, which goes into effect Oct. 1, is the shift from relying strictly on a decibel reading system to the \u201cplainly audible\u201d standard. Fees will increase for violations, and enforcement authority will include both EPD and the Sheriff\u2019s Office with provisions for notices, civil citations and criminal charges based on the number of times a violation occurs.<\/p>\n
