City: Renting backyards, pools is prohibited
The City said this is to ensure the safety and well-being of the community.
'When hot weather arrives, we see a rise in safety concerns, traffic issues, and disturbances stemming from residents renting out parts of their homes as entertainment venues,' Code Enforcement Director Steve Alvarado said. 'This summer to mitigate the issue, we are reaching out to residents to help them understand the law, and foster more harmonious neighborhoods.'
Using residential properties as entertainment venues poses serious safety risks, excessive noise, traffic congestion, and parking problems, the City said.
'Violating this zoning regulation outlined in the El Paso City Code is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $2,000,' read the news release by the City.
The City said increased enforcement will follow the campaign, which will utilize a variety of strategies to inform the public about the venue restrictions and how to access more information such as:
Direct mail to all single-family residential properties with pools
A robust social media campaign
Website information
In-person visits and written notices by Code Enforcement Officers
However, these zoning regulations do not prohibit all celebrations, such as family parties or gatherings. The restriction applies when payment is exchanged for the temporary use of a home's backyard or pool as an entertainment venue, the City said.

Why The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc (PNC) is a Great Dividend Stock Right Now
All investors love getting big returns from their portfolio, whether it's through stocks, bonds, ETFs, or other types of securities. But for income investors, generating consistent cash flow from each of your liquid investments is your primary focus. Cash flow can come from bond interest, interest from other types of investments, and, of course, dividends. A dividend is the distribution of a company's earnings paid out to shareholders; it's often viewed by its dividend yield, a metric that measures a dividend as a percent of the current stock price. Many academic studies show that dividends account for significant portions of long-term returns, with dividend contributions exceeding one-third of total returns in many cases. The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc (PNC) is headquartered in Pittsburgh, and is in the Finance sector. The stock has seen a price change of 0.07% since the start of the year. The company is paying out a dividend of $1.70 per share at the moment, with a dividend yield of 3.52% compared to the Financial - Investment Bank industry's yield of 1.02% and the S&P 500's yield of 1.49%. Looking at dividend growth, the company's current annualized dividend of $6.80 is up 7.9% from last year. Over the last 5 years, The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc has increased its dividend 3 times on a year-over-year basis for an average annual increase of 8.49%. Looking ahead, future dividend growth will be dependent on earnings growth and payout ratio, which is the proportion of a company's annual earnings per share that it pays out as a dividend. The PNC Financial Services Group's current payout ratio is 44%, meaning it paid out 44% of its trailing 12-month EPS as dividend. Earnings growth looks solid for PNC for this fiscal year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2025 is $15.50 per share, representing a year-over-year earnings growth rate of 11.43%. Investors like dividends for many reasons; they greatly improve stock investing profits, decrease overall portfolio risk, and carry tax advantages, among others. But, not every company offers a quarterly payout. High-growth firms or tech start-ups, for example, rarely provide their shareholders a dividend, while larger, more established companies that have more secure profits are often seen as the best dividend options. During periods of rising interest rates, income investors must be mindful that high-yielding stocks tend to struggle. With that in mind, PNC is a compelling investment opportunity. Not only is it a strong dividend play, but the stock currently sits at a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold). Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research?
