Buena Park, CA Short-Term Rentals: Noise Rules (2026)

The required house rules in Section 19.348.080(E)(5) govern noise at Buena Park short-term rentals. Quiet times are set from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. Renters and guests must not create unreasonable noise or disturbances, engage in disorderly conduct, or violate any provision of the Municipal Code or state law pertaining to noise or disorderly conduct, and the permittee must contact the Police Department if renters or guests fail to comply. The same house rules ban using the STR for any wedding, auction, commercial function, or other similar event inconsistent with residential uses - a direct response to large-gathering noise complaints common near the Knott's Berry Farm tourism corridor. Pools and hot tubs must post their hours of operation, which must comply with the same 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. quiet-hour window. On-premises lighting must be directed, screened, or shaded so it does not shine on surrounding properties, and unshaded clear bulbs are prohibited. Renters and guests must keep the property free of debris on-site and in the street, and trash cans may not be placed at the curb earlier than 24 hours before pickup. A copy of the house rules, signed by each renter, must be posted prominently inside the unit, and the host or authorized agent must be reachable 24/7 to respond to noise issues.
