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

180(E)(10) requires every short-term rental operator to post written "house policies" in each rental bedroom and to enforce them, and it dictates specific minimum content for those policies. " Beyond the nightly quiet-hours window, subsection E(11) imposes a round-the-clock restriction on gatherings: "The property shall not be used to host non-applicant related weddings, parties, and other similar events," which bars large events even during daytime hours regardless of noise level. These house-policy and event-ban requirements apply to hosted homestays directly and carry over to vacation rentals under subsection F(1), since neither the quiet-hours duty nor the events ban is on the list of six subsections excluded for vacation rentals.

Emergency evacuation instructions must be posted alongside the house policies under the same subsection, and the rental agreement itself must incorporate the quiet-hours and no-events terms so a guest signs onto them before check-in. A short-term rental that repeatedly generates noise or party complaints gives the director grounds under subsection G(2) to deny a permit renewal or, under subsection H, to suspend or terminate an existing permit.
