Summary
Before Doral will register a short-term rental, the owner must acknowledge in writing that making noise above the city's limits is unlawful. Section 5-271(a)(5)e.ii ties that acknowledgement to the general noise ordinance in section 26-128, which treats amplified sound plainly audible 100 feet away between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. as evidence of a violation.
e.Acknowledgements by owner of the following:i.That all vehicles must be parked in the driveway of the single-family, two-family, multi-family, and townhouse dwelling unit and clear of all grassy areas and sidewalk sections pursuant to City Code of Ordinances;ii.That it shall be unlawful to allow or make any noise or sound which exceed the limits set forth in the city's noise ordinance ... The operation of any such set, instrument, phonograph, machine or device between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. in such manner as to be plainly audible at a distance of 100 feet from the building, structure or vehicle in which it is located shall be prima facie evidence of a violation of this section.
Full Breakdown
Doral folds noise compliance directly into the short-term rental registration paperwork. ii, an owner applying to register a single-family, two-family, multi-family, or townhome unit as a short-term rental must acknowledge, in writing, that making or allowing noise exceeding the limits in the city's noise ordinance is unlawful. That acknowledgement points to Article V of Chapter 26, the city's general noise ordinance, not a rental-specific decibel table. in a manner plainly audible 100 feet from the building or vehicle where it is located, and 'plainly audible' is defined to include a rhythmic bass or beat detectable outside the property.
The same article makes anyone with responsibility for the premises, including whoever controls the volume, jointly and severally liable for a violation under section 26-130, so the responsible party listed on the rental registration can be cited even if a guest, not the owner, is the source of the noise. Because the noise acknowledgement is a listed item under section 5-271(a)(5), an application that omits it is incomplete and the registration will not issue under section 5-271(a)(5)h.
Violations & Fines
A noise violation tied to a short-term rental is enforced under Chapter 26's civil fine schedule in section 26-135, issued by a code compliance officer, and it can also expose the property's registration to the general section 5-271(c)(2) fines for a rental-program violation: $500 for a first offense up to $7,500 for a fourth or later offense within 12 months, plus possible injunctive relief.
