Ordinance No. 927 imposes strict noise standards on unincorporated short-term rentals, with an absolute 10 p.m.-7 a.m. quiet period and prohibitions on amplified outdoor sound.
Riverside County Ordinance No. 927 regulates short-term rentals in unincorporated areas and imposes specific noise obligations beyond the general county ordinance. Guests must observe a strict quiet period from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., during which no amplified music, loud voices, or outdoor gatherings are permitted. Outdoor amplified sound (speakers, DJs, bands) is prohibited at all hours at short-term rentals, and hot-tub/pool use after 10 p.m. must be conducted quietly. Hosts must post rental rules inside the unit, provide the 24/7 complaint hotline number, and respond to complaints within 30-60 minutes via a local contact person. Substantiated noise complaints count as strikes under the STR permit's three-strikes system, and three verified violations in 12 months trigger permit suspension or revocation. Hosts are strictly liable for guest conduct.
Administrative fines $1,500 per first violation, up to $5,000 per subsequent; three strikes in 12 months leads to permit revocation.
