The City of Lubbock runs a 24/7 STR complaint hotline (806-955-6144) for noise and other issues. STRs must obey the city's general noise ordinance. Unincorporated Lubbock County has no noise ordinance; Texas Penal Code 42.01 disorderly-conduct noise applies.
The City of Lubbock provides a dedicated citizen complaint hotline, staffed 24/7, so neighbors can report noise or nuisance from any short-term rental. STR operators must also comply with the city's general noise ordinance, and each STR must name a 24-hour contact who can respond to complaints. In unincorporated Lubbock County there is no county noise ordinance; the state's disorderly-conduct statute, Texas Penal Code 42.01(a)(5), penalizes making unreasonable noise in a public place or near a private residence. Repeated STR nuisance complaints can jeopardize a city registration.
Disorderly-conduct noise under Penal Code 42.01 is a Class C misdemeanor; city noise-ordinance and STR-registration enforcement may follow repeated complaints.
