Noise Rules: Fort Collins vs Loveland

Can STR guests have parties?

Most cities prohibit parties or events exceeding the permitted occupancy at STR properties.

What happens with repeated complaints?

Multiple verified complaints may result in permit revocation.

What are quiet hours for a Loveland Airbnb or VRBO?

Loveland does not codify STR-specific quiet hours. STR guests are subject to the same general noise ordinance that applies to every resident, which uses plain-audibility and decibel-based tests with stricter limits during nighttime hours. Most operators post 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. quiet hours in their house rules to manage guest behavior, but those are operator-set expectations rather than a city mandate.

Who do I call about a noisy short-term rental in Loveland?

For an active disturbance, call the Loveland Police Department non-emergency dispatch and request a noise complaint response. Officers can respond, document the violation, and issue municipal citations to the person making the noise. For repeated pattern complaints tied to the same address, you may also file with Loveland code enforcement under the general nuisance chapter for nuisance abatement, though Loveland has no STR-specific license to suspend or revoke.

Can I get my neighbor's short-term rental shut down for repeated noise?

Loveland has no STR license, so there is no license-revocation pathway available against a problem property. The available enforcement tools are per-incident municipal citations (issued to the guest making the noise) and, for documented patterns, a general nuisance abatement action against the property owner. In HOA-governed neighborhoods, private CC&R enforcement (which may prohibit STRs entirely) is often the most effective remedy and is independently enforceable in civil court.
