Coconut Creek, FL Short-Term Rentals: Noise Rules (2026)

Section 13-322(d)(5) of the Coconut Creek Code bars using or advertising a vacation rental for any commercial or non-residential use, including as a filming, party, event or entertainment venue. Section 13-322(h)(3) then puts the noise duty on the owner and responsible party. They must inform guests in writing before occupancy of the city ordinances on noise, parking, garbage and common area use, and ensure at all times that transient occupants know it is unlawful to make noise in violation of chapter 14, article II, "Noise." The responsible party must be reachable by phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and be willing and able to come to the unit within two hours after notice from an occupant, the owner or the city, including for noise complaints and unauthorized events.

The measurable limits sit in Table I of section 14-30. In single-family districts (RS-1 through RS-4), the limit from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, and from 11:59 p.m. on Friday and Saturday until 9:00 a.m. the next day, is 5 dBA/dBC above ambient or 60 dBA/dBC, whichever is greater. At other times it is 10 dBA/dBC above ambient or 65, whichever is greater. Residential cluster, RM-10 and mobile home districts use 65 at night and 70 at other times.

Section 14-35 has the code enforcement division and police department enforce the article. A written summons to appear before the special magistrate requires a sworn affidavit from a complainant. If the city employee cannot perceive the noise, monitoring runs for 30 days before the case closes administratively.
