Denton County has no nighttime caps, guest curfews, or after-hours restrictions for short-term rentals in unincorporated areas. Texas counties cannot regulate STR operations or impose time-of-day guest restrictions. HOAs may have relevant provisions.
Unincorporated Denton County does not impose nighttime guest caps, curfews, or after-hours restrictions on short-term rentals. Texas counties lack the authority to regulate STR operations including guest arrival times, check-in hours, or nighttime occupancy. There is no county requirement for noise monitoring devices, exterior lighting standards, or nighttime guest behavior rules. Some incorporated cities in Texas have adopted STR night-cap provisions that limit the number of guests allowed after 10 PM, but these are city ordinances that do not apply in unincorporated county areas. HOA deed restrictions in subdivisions may include quiet hours, guest conduct rules, and nighttime parking restrictions that effectively function as night caps. STR hosts can set their own house rules for check-in times and noise through their platform listings.
No county penalties related to STR nighttime operations. TX Penal Code 42.01 applies if noise rises to disorderly conduct.
