Tracy STR guests are subject to the same noise ordinance as permanent residents under TMC Chapter 4.12. STR operators are responsible for ensuring their guests comply. Occupancy limits and quiet hours are conditions of STR operation.
Tracy's STR regulations require that short-term rental guests comply with all applicable city ordinances, including the noise control provisions of TMC Chapter 4.12. The number of permitted guests is tied to the size of the rental unit to prevent overcrowding and minimize noise impacts on residential neighborhoods. STR operators are responsible for informing guests of noise ordinance requirements and may be held accountable for repeated guest violations. The general noise standard prohibits disturbing, excessive, or offensive noise at any time. Late-night loud parties or amplified music that disturbs neighbors is enforceable under TMC Β§4.12.
Guest noise violations may be cited under TMC Chapter 4.12. Repeated noise complaints from an STR can lead to permit revocation.
