Corona requires short-term rental operators to comply with the general noise ordinance in Chapter 9.36 plus any additional STR conditions imposed at permit. Quiet hours are 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. and amplified music outdoors is prohibited at STRs at all times in many zones.
Corona's regulation of short-term rentals (STRs), found in updated provisions of the Corona Municipal Code and zoning code, layers STR-specific noise standards on top of the general Chapter 9.36 noise ordinance. STR operators are typically required by permit condition to post the 24-hour local contact's phone number prominently inside the unit and on city registration records, and that contact must respond to noise complaints within 60 minutes. Outdoor amplified music at STRs is generally prohibited at any hour as a permit condition, and pool, spa, and outdoor entertainment areas may not be used between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. The general 50-foot plainly-audible rule and the 55 dBA day / 45 dBA night residential property-line limits apply at all times. Verified noise violations at an STR can trigger administrative citations against the operator (not just the guest) and a strikes-based penalty progression that can lead to permit suspension or revocation. Hillside STRs in the Sierra Del Oro and Skyline Drive areas, where sound carries across canyons, attract heightened enforcement attention, and operators in HOA communities must also comply with HOA covenants which often impose stricter standards.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Corona code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
