Short-term rental guests in Humble are subject to the same noise regulations as all residents under Chapter 38 (Nuisances). There is no separate noise ordinance specific to short-term rentals. Excessive noise from rental properties — including loud parties, amplified music, and disturbances — can result in nuisance citations. Humble PD at (281) 446-7127 handles noise complaints from rental properties.
The City of Humble does not have a dedicated short-term rental ordinance with specific noise provisions. Rental properties operating through platforms like Airbnb and VRBO are subject to the general nuisance provisions in Chapter 38. Excessive noise, parties, and disturbances from rental guests are treated the same as noise from any other resident. Property owners may be held responsible for repeated nuisance violations at their rental properties. Harris County regulations may also apply to properties in unincorporated areas adjacent to Humble. The city's proximity to IAH airport means ambient noise levels are already elevated, but this does not exempt rental properties from noise standards. Complaints should be directed to Humble PD at (281) 446-7127.
Noise violations at short-term rental properties are handled under the general nuisance ordinance. Fines up to $500 per offense. Repeat violations at the same property can lead to enforcement action against the property owner. Persistent issues may result in additional code enforcement scrutiny.
