No STR-specific noise rules exist in Cocoa. General nuisance ordinance Chapter 13.5 applies. Quiet hours are 11 PM to 7 AM. Cocoa Village area STRs should be aware of enhanced evening enforcement.
Cocoa holds short-term rental hosts responsible for ensuring guests comply with county noise ordinances. Hosts must post quiet-hours information prominently inside the rental and include noise expectations in their listing descriptions. Noise complaints from neighbors trigger investigation by code enforcement, and the host's STR permit file is flagged. Three substantiated noise complaints within 12 months may result in permit suspension or revocation. Outdoor gatherings and parties exceeding the posted maximum occupancy are prohibited.
Hosts receive a warning on first noise complaint. Second complaint results in a $250 fine. Third complaint triggers permit suspension hearing. Guests may be cited directly under the noise ordinance.
