OCEAN CITY NOISE ORDINANCE INFORMATION

     City Council will require rental properties to have bar-codes with contact information so Landlords can be called by the police when noise violations are in progress by their renters.  Renters violating noise regulations in a property without a bar-code will also allow the Police and the Town of Ocean City rental authority to issue a citation for not having a license.

     Please be respectful of your neighbors.  It is unlawful for any person to make, cause, or continue any loud, unnecessary, unnatural or unusual noise, or any noise which annoys, disturbs, injures or endangers the comfort, repose, health, peace and safety of others at any time, day or night.  Ocean City strongly enforces its ordinance that no disruptive noises be made between 12 midnight and 7 a.m. in such a manner as to be heard at a distance of 50 feet from the building or structure which it is located.

 

     Maryland Motor Vehicle Law and Ocean City Town Ordinance state that no loud noise from a vehicle may be heard at a distance of 50 feet from the vehicle at any time.  The Association has no enforcement authority - call the police Communications Center at 410-723-6600 to report violations of the Ocean City Noise Regulations or Maryland Law.  If you believe criminal activity is in progress call 911 directly.

Pets are only permitted on the beach or boardwalk between October 1st and April 30th.  Between May 1st and September 30th our furry friends have to stay away from the beach.  All dogs must be kept on a leash when being walked in the Ocean City area.  Any handler or owner of a dog must remove any waste deposited on public or private property.  The Dog Playground is located at Little Salisbury Park on 94th St. For information call Ocean City Recreation & Parks at (410) 250-0125.
