For AV & Production Companies
Don't let a noise complaint
shut down your show.
Noise curfews, electrical licensing, rigging requirements, and stage safety rules for every state — so you can plan the production, not research the regulations.
The problem you already know
Noise ordinances kill your load-in schedule
Austin has a 10:30pm curfew on 6th Street. Nashville gives you until midnight on Broadway. LA cuts you off at 10pm in residential zones. You don't find out until a neighbor calls the cops.
Electrical licensing varies wildly by state
Some states require a licensed electrician for any temporary power hookup. Others only care above a certain amperage. A few don't regulate it at all. Wrong guess = fines or no power on show day.
Rigging rules differ and inspections aren't optional
Chain hoist inspection cycles, load documentation requirements, and rigger certification rules change state by state. One missing document can ground your entire rig.

Real scenario: Concert stage in Austin
The client wants a full concert production on Rainey Street. Load-in starts at 6am, show runs until midnight. Here's what you'd find on Siteline in seconds:
Texas requires state electrical licensing — a licensed Master Electrician must supervise all temporary power installations over 200A.
Austin noise curfew at 10:30pm on 6th Street — the city enforces strict decibel limits in the entertainment district. You need a sound variance for anything past that.
Stage over 4ft requires fall protection — OSHA fall protection kicks in at 4 feet, and Texas follows IBC guardrail requirements at 30 inches.
Rigging inspection required within 12 months — all chain hoists and rigging hardware must have current annual inspection certificates.
