Siskiyou County, CA Short-Term Rentals: Noise Rules (2026)

The vacation rental conditions in Section 10-6.6109 address noise directly. The notice that must be posted prominently next to the front door has to communicate, among other things, restrictions on loud noise (such as music and parties) after 10 P.M. Separately, Section 10-6.6109(B)(12) states that outdoor amplified sound shall not be allowed at any time associated with a vacation rental, an absolute prohibition independent of the hour. To enforce these conditions in real time, Section 10-6.6109(B)(3) requires the permittee to have a professional property management firm located in Siskiyou County available on a 24-hour basis to respond to problems, and the posted notice must list 24-hour emergency contact information for that property manager. Because creating a nuisance within the local neighborhood is a finding the Board weighs (Section 10-6.6108), and nuisance is grounds for permit revocation, persistent noise complaints can jeopardize a permit. These provisions apply only to the unincorporated county; incorporated cities like Dunsmuir and Mount Shasta enforce their own noise ordinances.
