Queen Creek, AZ Short-Term Rentals: Noise Rules (2026)

Section 8-6-5 of Article 8-6, Short-Term Rentals and Vacation Rentals, requires a vacation rental to comply with federal, state, and local laws including those relating to public health and safety, sanitation, solid waste, hazardous waste, tax privilege licensing, property tax registration, traffic control, pollution control, noise, property maintenance, and nuisance abatement. The noise standard incorporated is the Town's general noise chapter, Article 9-6. , unless operating under a Nighttime and Holiday Construction Permit or an applicable exclusion. A violation of Section 9-6-4 is a civil offense, and Section 9-6-10 applies the Town's repeat-violator provisions to it.

Section 9-6-5, Unnecessary Noise, separately bars any unreasonable noise that disturbs the peace of a neighborhood at any hour, weighing factors such as volume, duration, time of day, and proximity to residential sleeping areas. Because a vacation rental's failure to comply with these noise provisions is also a violation of Article 8-6 under Section 8-6-5, a noise complaint at a short-term rental can count toward the three-violation threshold in Section 8-6-6 that triggers suspension of the property's registration, and toward the escalating civil penalties of Section 8-6-7.
