If you're hosting an event or doing construction work in a residential area or at a certain time, you may need a noise exemption permit. For example, you need a noise exemption permit for any activity on your property that exceeds the noise limits and prohibited times outlined in the Town of Innisfil's Noise By-law.
Fireworks need a fireworks permit from Innisfil Fire & Rescue Services.
Noise exemptions are not granted for residential properties in settlement areas to allow amplified sound or on Sundays.
Apply for a noise exemption permit
Please complete the Noise Exemption Permit Application and submit it by email to atangney@innisfil.ca. Apply at least two weeks before your event date so we can review and process your request.
Fees
If you are a resident in Innisfil and are applying to work on, or hold an event at your own residence, there is no permit fee. Otherwise, it will cost $410.90 to get a noise exemption permit.
When do I need a noise exemption permit?
Please review the Noise By-law to find out the permitted noise levels and times of day for all properties in Innisfil. Some activities may include:
- Parties and backyard weddings
- Commercial events taking place outside regular business hours

Commercial events
Events with live music in commercial areas need Council's approval. Submit your application at least 4 to 6 weeks in advance so that Council can review your request.
