STR guests must comply with Chapter 66 noise limits: 60 dB(A) day and 50 dB(A) night at residential receptors. Hosts are responsible for guest-generated noise.
Chapter 66 applies equally to STR guests. Nighttime quiet hours (10 p.m.-7 a.m.) at the 50 dB(A) residential limit are commonly triggered by parties and amplified music. Hosts typically receive the citation as property owner. Repeat nuisance complaints may trigger Code Enforcement action against the rental itself.
Appearance tickets and fines $250-$1,000 per offense; repeat offending properties may face use-violation proceedings.
