In the Tahoe Basin (TRPA area), Washoe County STR quiet hours run daily from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Guests must reduce outdoor activity, and repeat noise violations force the owner to file a noise-management plan and install decibel monitors.
Under WCC 110.319.15(c), within the TRPA jurisdiction STR quiet hours are in effect daily from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Guests must be instructed to be respectful of the neighborhood and reduce outdoor activities during that window, and to understand that proven quiet-hour violations bring fines against the owner, who may pass them to renters. Owners who receive two confirmed STR noise violations within a 12-month period must provide the Planning and Building Division a comprehensive noise-management plan, including commercially available decibel-monitoring devices with reporting; records must be kept at least 60 days and made available for county review.
Proven quiet-hour violations bring fines against the property owner; two confirmed noise violations in 12 months trigger a mandatory noise-management plan and decibel monitoring, and three confirmed violations can suspend the permit.
