Summary
Tyler short-term-rental guests must obey the citywide noise ordinance (Sec. 4-90): 75 dB(A) daytime and 63 dB(A) from 10:01 PM to 6:59 AM. There is no separate, stricter STR noise standard.
75 dB (A) from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., and extended to 11:00 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. 63 dB (A) from 10:01 p.m. to 6:59 a.m., and extended to 11:01 p.m. to 6:59 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: July 2026: Including amendments through July 22, 2026).
Full Breakdown
Tyler has no STR-specific noise rule, so rentals follow the same Sec. 4-90 limits as any home: 75 dB(A) during the day and 63 dB(A) overnight, with the Friday/Saturday one-hour extension. Sound equipment that is plainly audible 50 feet from a vehicle is also prohibited. Because Tyler issues no STR permit, there is no permit-revocation lever for repeat noise, enforcement runs through police citations and the general nuisance penalty. Hosts should set house rules matching the 10 PM threshold to keep guests from being cited.
Violations & Fines
Guest noise violations are cited under Sec. 4-90 as a public nuisance: up to $500 per offense under Sec. 1-4, each day a separate offense. The person making the noise is liable.
