Citizens for Noise Ordinance, Montgomery Co. TX
The Petition
As tax paying citizens of Montgomery County, Texas, we have the right to enjoy a reasonable level of peace and quiet while in our homes. This is a very important quality of life issue.
Although some noise in our daily living is unavoidable, such as the routine repair and maintenance of our homes and communities, it is most often controlled by community association deed restrictions. The deed restrictions usually include language that prohibits loud garden and construction machinery between the hours of 8pm to 7 am so as not to disturb its citizensâ time for rest and relaxation.
In unincorporated areas of Montgomery County, TX there are no laws governing loud noise, such as the Noise Ordinances adopted by surrounding cities. The ordinances in those cities were implemented so that others rights are not violated and citizens have some control over the quality of living conditions within their neighborhoods.
Cities have the right to adopt Noise Ordinances in Texas, but surrounding areas, in the same counties, cannot adopt Noise Ordinances because although the Texas State Legislature has been presented with Bills to do so, they have not been fully entertained by our Texas State Legislatures.
A Noise Ordinance for any county in Texas who chooses to adopt one shows their awareness and need for the social sophistication of their growing communities. If you do not have a problem with excessive noise, the ordinance does not affect you, but if you do have a problem with excessive noise, you finally will have some recourse.
Thank you for your time, and we respectfully request that you sign this petition to demonstrate to our local politicians the need for them to address this ever increasing problem.
