STR guests in unincorporated LA County must comply with Chapter 12.08 noise standards, the same rules that apply to all residents. Quiet hours prohibit noise audible beyond the property line from 10 PM to 7 AM weekdays and 10 PM to 8 AM weekends. Hosts are responsible for informing guests of noise rules and may be held liable for repeated guest violations. Many STR platforms require hosts to include house rules about noise. Neighbors can file noise complaints against the property with the Sheriff's Department. Repeated noise complaints from an STR may trigger nuisance abatement proceedings against the property.
Noise violations from STR guests carry the same penalties as any noise violation: $100-$500 per incident under Chapter 12.08. If the property generates repeated complaints, the property owner (host) may face nuisance abatement proceedings with fines of $1,000+ per day. Chronic noise issues from an STR can result in a public nuisance designation for the property. Hosting platforms may delist properties with repeated noise complaints.
