Short-term rental guests must comply with Lodi's general noise regulations under LMC Chapter 9.24. Quiet hours are 10 PM to 7 AM. Complaints about parties and noise at STR properties were a factor in the City Council's 2024 discussion of STR regulation.
No STR-specific noise ordinance exists in Lodi. All general noise regulations under LMC Chapter 9.24 apply equally. The Mayor received complaints about parties at STR properties and excessive street parking from guests, which prompted the 2024 Council discussion. Operators should inform guests about quiet hours and noise rules to avoid complaints that could lead to future regulation.
Noise violation at STR: $250 to $1,000. Multiple complaints: permit suspension/revocation. Host responsible for guest behavior.
