Riverside County Ordinance 847 allows the Sheriff to declare a gathering an unruly disturbance and bill responsible parties for response costs. Repeat unruly events on the same property within 12 months trigger escalating cost-recovery fees.
Ordinance 847 establishes the unincorporated Riverside County response to loud or unruly gatherings. After deputies determine that a gathering threatens public peace through noise, traffic, fights, underage drinking, or property damage, they may declare it unruly and order dispersal. The host, property owner, and resident in control may each be billed for actual response costs, including supervisor time and second-response visits. A second declared unruly gathering at the same address within 12 months triggers automatic enhanced cost recovery and a citation. Vacation-rental hosts face additional consequences under Ordinance 927.
Hosting an unruly gathering triggers cost-recovery billing of $500 or more, plus a misdemeanor citation. STR operators may also face permit suspension and administrative penalties under Ordinance 927.
