Short-term rental operators in Madera are responsible for guest noise behavior under §3-11.01. Repeat noise complaints can result in business-license revocation and the Chapter 11 second-response fee being charged to the owner.
Madera does not have an STR-specific noise rule. Standard §3-11.01 applies: guests creating amplified music, loud parties, or general party noise audible at the neighboring property line can be cited at any hour, with stricter enforcement after 10 p.m. The host (license-holder) is responsible. Chapter 11's second-police-response fee means that if a Madera STR generates two responses within a defined window, the second-response cost is billed to the owner. Repeat noise complaints support Planning's grounds for revoking a Home Occupation Permit or denying a business-license renewal.
First infraction $100, escalating to $500. Second-response cost-recovery fees are billable to the host. Repeat violations may result in business license revocation under Title VI.
