Summary
Casa Grande does not set a separate noise curfew for short-term rentals; instead § 5.28.050(A) requires every short-term rental to comply with all existing federal, state, and local noise laws along with health, sanitation, traffic, pollution and nuisance rules. A short-term rental that generates a verified noise violation is treated as a compliance failure under the chapter's civil citation and permit suspension provisions.
A. A short-term rental shall comply with all federal, state, and local laws, including laws relating to public health and safety, sanitation, solid waste, hazardous waste, tax privilege licensing, property tax registration, traffic control, pollution control, noise, property maintenance, and nuisance abatement.
Full Breakdown
Rather than writing its own decibel limits or quiet hours for short-term rentals, Casa Grande folds noise into the general compliance duty in § 5.28.050(A), which requires every short-term rental to comply with all federal, state, and local laws, expressly naming laws relating to noise alongside public health and safety, sanitation, solid waste, hazardous waste, tax privilege licensing, property tax registration, traffic control, pollution control, property maintenance, and nuisance abatement. That means the substantive noise standard a short-term rental must meet is whatever the city's separate noise ordinance and Arizona nuisance law already require; § 5.28.050 does not duplicate those decibel or time-of-day limits, it simply makes compliance with them a condition of operating the rental.
A noise complaint that becomes a finally adjudicated violation qualifies as a "verified violation" under § 5.28.020, and three verified violations within a 12-month period, or one serious verified violation, can support suspension of the short-term rental permit for up to 12 months under § 5.28.080(A). Subsection C of § 5.28.100 additionally allows a civil citation carrying a $250 fine for each violation of the chapter, separate from any citation issued directly under the underlying noise ordinance itself.
Violations & Fines
A short-term rental that violates the city's noise laws also breaches § 5.28.050(A)'s duty to comply with all applicable laws, exposing the owner to a $250 civil fine per violation under § 5.28.100(C). Three verified violations within 12 months, including noise violations, can trigger suspension of the short-term rental permit for up to 12 months under § 5.28.080(A), and a habitual offender who accumulates repeat violations within 24 months faces a Class 2 misdemeanor with up to four months in jail and a $750 fine.
