The Town of Hillsborough approved a new noise ordinance on Monday, an update 15 months in the making between the local government, downtown businesses and residents.
The measure, which the town’s Board of Commissioners passed unanimously, clarifies the hours when extensive amplified sound is allowed and establishes a civil penalty structure for those who repeatedly violate the ordinance.
Discussions around a noise ordinance update began in early 2020 when downtown Hillsborough residents filed complaints about amplified music coming from the Hot Tin Roof bar on Margaret Lane. Since then, law enforcement officials and town staff began discussions on how to adapt the ordinance previously adopted in 2015, which was based on decibel levels of noise.
