STR guests must comply with McKinney's 10 PM to 7 AM residential quiet hours; operators are strictly liable for guest-generated noise and amplified outdoor sound is prohibited after 10 PM.
The McKinney noise ordinance applies fully to short-term rentals. Between 10 PM and 7 AM, sound audible at the property line or more than 50 feet from its source is a violation. Amplified music, hot-tub parties, and outdoor gatherings after 10 PM are frequent complaint sources. Operators must post house rules conspicuously inside the unit and include them in the rental agreement. Substantiated violations count against the registration.
First citation typically $200; subsequent citations up to $500. Two verified noise violations within 12 months trigger mandatory operator conference; three within 12 months may result in registration revocation.
