It sets no fixed quiet hours for ordinary noise and no decibel limit. The only time limit is for construction: disturbing noise is not allowed between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Building, demolition and excavation work is expressly allowed from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. The bylaw does not treat weekends or holidays differently.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- The bylaw also covers amplified sound or radios that disturb, barking or crying animals and birds, vehicles, and commercial engine brakes (except where a driver cannot slow safely).\n- Exempt: emergency works and vehicles, District, Ministry and utility maintenance, snow removal in private parking lots after 5:00 a.m., church bells, authorized parades and events, and public transit. The District Manager must consider any other exemption request within three business days.\n- Bylaw notices: $220 for a noise disturbance ($110 if paid within 14 days, $245 after 28 days), $200 for noise from property or an animal or bird ($100 and $225), $220 for stereo or amplified sound ($110 and $245), and $300 for construction noise ($150 and $325).\n- The bylaw does not say who takes noise complaints. Try the District office at 250-395-2434 (the contact form has a \"Bylaw\" option). The RCMP non-emergency line is 250-395-2456. No after-hours bylaw number is stated.","sources":[{"url":"https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2026-10/bylaw%201479%20Mtnce%20of%20Property%20%20and%20Nuisance.pdf","title":"Maintenance of Property and Nuisance Regulation Bylaw No. 1479, 2026 (PDF), District of 100 Mile House","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2026-09/2026_Sept_8_Regular_Agenda_PKG_2.pdf","title":"Council agenda package, September 8, 2026, Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw No. 1429 Schedule A (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.100milehouse.com/contact-us","title":"Contact Us, District of 100 Mile House","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.100milehouse.com/district-services/emergency-services/rcmp-online-reporting","title":"RCMP Online Reporting, District of 100 Mile House","accessed":"2026-11-08"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-08","review":{"status":"machine_checked","badge":"Checked against official text","label":"Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 5 of 8 facts was matched to the official text; 1 is recorded as not set; 2 could not be confirmed."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/100-mile-house/noise-rules/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/100-mile-house/noise-rules.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/100-mile-house/noise-rules.json"}}
