Laredo STRs must comply with the City noise ordinance, which prohibits unreasonable noise audible beyond property lines between 10 PM and 7 AM. Operators are responsible for guest conduct and can be cited for repeated violations.
The Laredo Code of Ordinances Chapter 21 governs noise, setting quiet hours of 10 PM to 7 AM in residential areas. Amplified music, loud parties, and disturbances are prohibited at all times if unreasonable. For STRs, the city encourages operators to include house rules referencing local quiet hours in rental agreements and to provide a 24-hour local contact number for neighbors. Laredo Police respond to noise complaints and can issue Class C misdemeanor citations under Texas Penal Code 42.01 disorderly conduct, carrying fines up to 500 dollars. Repeat violations at the same STR can support revocation of zoning approval or nuisance abatement action under Texas Local Government Code Chapter 217.
Class C misdemeanor disorderly conduct citation, fine up to 500 dollars. Three or more substantiated complaints within 12 months may trigger nuisance abatement proceedings.
