No STR-specific noise rules exist in Melbourne. The general noise ordinance Chapter 26, Article II applies to all properties including vacation rentals. Downtown Melbourne and Eau Gallie Arts District areas have enhanced enforcement.
Melbourne holds short-term rental hosts responsible for ensuring guests comply with county noise ordinances. Hosts must post quiet-hours information prominently inside the rental and include noise expectations in their listing descriptions. Noise complaints from neighbors trigger investigation by code enforcement, and the host's STR permit file is flagged. Three substantiated noise complaints within 12 months may result in permit suspension or revocation. Outdoor gatherings and parties exceeding the posted maximum occupancy are prohibited.
Hosts receive a warning on first noise complaint. Second complaint results in a $250 fine. Third complaint triggers permit suspension hearing. Guests may be cited directly under the noise ordinance.
