Citizen
Noise Complaint
Florida Statute 316.3045 forbids car stereo noise that is audible at more than
25’ from the car. The City of St. Petersburg allows you to report violators of
this law by completing a complaint form with the car tag number and any other
identifying information. The form is sent to the City, the tag is “pulled” to
get the name and address of the owner, and a “soft letter” goes out politely
requesting that the owner or driver obey the law and respect his neighbors. A
“soft letter” carries no fine or penalty.
You can remain anonymous when you file your report. The only restrictions are
that the car must have a Florida tag and the noise must be heard within the
St. Petersburg City limits. Provide as much information as you can about the
car make, model and color, and the sex, age and race of the driver. But get
this information safely – do not take risks to get it.

instructions with mailing address. If you have questions, send an email to
