A Noise Exemption Permit is required for any activity or event expected to continue past 10:00 p.m., as outlined in the County’s Noise Control Bylaw C-8067-2020 [PDF/869KB].
If your event will go past 10:00 p.m., you must apply for a Noise Exemption Permit — even if your event is not considered a Special Event. Applications must be submitted at least 10 business days before the event.
A Noise Exemption Request may be denied if
- The application is not submitted within the 10-business-day deadline.
- Landowner authorization is not obtained (if the applicant is not the property owner or does not have permission from the owner).
- Neighbours within a one-mile radius are not notified; and/or
- The event is expected to cause undue impact on surrounding properties.
Please indicate your request for a Noise Exemption on the Application Form [PDF/209KB] and include a brief description of the reason for the exemption and when the event will conclude.
The County may revoke a Noise Exemption Permit if noise is not minimized or if permit conditions are violated.
