STR guests in Cedar Park must comply with Article 8.08 of the Code: nighttime quiet hours run 10 PM-7 AM in residential zones, with limits of 50 dB(A)/60 dB(C) at night and 70 dB(A)/80 dB(C) by day.
Cedar Park's noise regulations live in Chapter 8, Article 8.08 of the Code of Ordinances and apply citywide plus 600 feet into the city's ETJ. For residential property the continuous permissible period is 7:00 AM-10:00 PM every day; outside that window, the residential limits drop to 50 A-weighted decibels and 60 C-weighted decibels (versus the daytime 70 dB(A)/80 dB(C)). C-weighted measurements capture low-frequency bass that A-weighting under-reports, so heavy subwoofers can violate the ordinance even when conversation is fine. The city tightened these standards in March 2017. Special-event noise exceptions require a Special Noise Exception Request approved by city staff. The STR registration ordinance does not relax these rules — STR operators are responsible for guest compliance.
A noise-ordinance violation is a Class C misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $500 per occurrence under Tex. LGC §54.001. Repeated violations at a registered STR may also trigger code-enforcement action and, after Oct. 1, 2026, potential consequences for the property's STR registration.
