Galt STRs must follow citywide quiet hours (10 PM-7 AM). Operators are liable for guest conduct; three verified noise violations in 12 months can trigger permit review or revocation.
Galt Municipal Code noise provisions apply to all properties including STRs. Quiet hours of 10 PM to 7 AM prohibit amplified music, loud parties, and other disturbances audible at the property line. STR listings must disclose quiet hours and house rules to guests. Operators must respond to complaints within 60 minutes through their designated local contact. Three verified noise violations within a 12-month period may trigger suspension or revocation of the STR permit. Special event gatherings (weddings, parties over the home occupancy limit) are generally prohibited at STRs in residential zones. Police and code enforcement respond to complaints and may issue citations to both guests and operators.
First noise citation: 100 dollar fine. Second: 200 dollars. Third within 12 months: 500 dollars plus permit review.
