Dunedin vacation rental guests must follow the city's general noise ordinance, with amplified or unreasonable noise prohibited overnight. The responsible party must respond promptly to noise complaints from neighbors or code enforcement.
Section 107-41.1 of the Dunedin Code (recently amended by Ordinance 24-22) makes it unlawful to make, continue, or cause unreasonable noise that disturbs reasonable persons. Amplified sound is restricted overnight, and lawn maintenance equipment is limited during quiet hours. Vacation Rental Standards under Section 103-14.7.5 require the designated responsible party to be available 24 hours per day to respond to disturbance complaints and to take corrective action. Posting house rules with quiet hours inside the rental is required. Repeat noise violations may count toward registration revocation.
Citations issued under the noise ordinance carry escalating civil fines. Repeat violations at a registered rental can lead to suspension or revocation of vacation rental status.
