Lubbock has not adopted a strike-based repeat-violator system for short-term rentals. Enforcement relies on standard noise, parking, and code-violation citations rather than escalating revocation of an STR-specific permit.
Cities like Dallas and San Antonio have proposed three-strikes systems where an STR loses its permit after multiple verified noise or party citations. Lubbock has no such tiered revocation regime because it has no STR-specific permit to revoke. Repeat noise violators are cited under Lubbock Code of Ordinances Chapter 22 noise rules and may face escalating municipal court fines, but the underlying STR may continue operating. Texas HB 1620 preemption would further block Lubbock from later adopting a strike-based revocation. Neighbors should report violations to LPD non-emergency line and document recurring incidents for civil nuisance lawsuits.
Standard noise citations under Chapter 22 may run several hundred dollars per incident, but STRs do not lose operating authority because no operating permit exists in Lubbock to revoke.
