Jurupa Valley FAQ

What are the quiet hours for short-term rentals in Jurupa Valley?

STRs are prohibited under Municipal Code Chapter 4.15, so the City does not set STR-specific quiet hours. Any noise at a residential property is evaluated under Chapter 11.05 (Noise Regulations) against the citywide standard.

If neighbors complain about an Airbnb's late-night party, what happens?

Code Section 4.15.030(C) lets the City issue a notice of violation to the occupant, owner, agent, or hosting platform under the STR prohibition itself, and Chapter 11.05 may separately apply. Section 4.15.030(A) also declares the rental a public nuisance subject to abatement.

Riverside FAQ

Are quiet hours different from the regular noise ordinance?

No, the 10 p.m.-7 a.m. quiet hours mirror RMC Chapter 7.35's standard nighttime period. RMC §5.55 simply adds the 30-minute local-contact response duty unique to STRs.

Who pays the noise fine — me or my guests?

Both can be cited. RMC §7.35 noise citations may be issued against the guests; RMC §5.55 violations are issued against the operator/owner and the business tax certificate holder.

Do hot tubs and pools have separate noise rules?

Outdoor amplified music and pool gatherings are subject to the same 10 p.m. quiet-hours threshold. RMC §5.55 also forbids 'disorderly conduct' which includes loud poolside gatherings audible at the property line.
