Amarillo has no STR-specific noise rules because the city has no general noise ordinance. STR guests are subject only to the Texas Penal Code disorderly conduct provisions regarding unreasonable noise.
Since Amarillo does not have a local noise ordinance or specific STR regulations, there are no city-imposed quiet hours or noise rules for short-term rental properties. STR operators are encouraged to provide house rules to guests as a best practice. Neighbors can call the Amarillo Police Department if noise rises to the level of disorderly conduct under Texas Penal Code §42.01. Repeated disturbances from an STR property could potentially lead to nuisance complaints.
Only Texas state disorderly conduct law applies. Noise exceeding 85 dBA after police warning may result in a Class C misdemeanor citation.
