Because short-term rentals are banned in Boulder City, no STR-specific noise standards exist. General residential noise limits apply, including 70 dB cap and 7 AM to 8 PM music hours.
Boulder City prohibits short-term rentals citywide as of March 26, 2024, so no dedicated STR noise ordinance or party-house framework exists. If an STR were operating illegally, general city noise standards apply: residential areas cannot exceed 70 dB at any time, musical instruments are limited to 7 AM to 8 PM, and Title 7 Police Regulations govern nuisance disturbances. Complaints are enforced by the Boulder City Police Department (702-293-9224). Repeat nuisance events can support STR enforcement actions and daily fines alongside noise penalties.
Civil citation or misdemeanor for noise violations, plus STR operation fines up to 500 dollars per day.
