Short-term rentals in Anderson follow the same noise and nuisance ordinances as any home. There is no STR-specific noise rule; the city's general offenses/nuisance code sets the enforceable standard.
Anderson has no noise ordinance aimed only at short-term rentals. STR guests are held to the city's generally applicable noise and nuisance provisions in the Code of Ordinances, the same standard every resident follows. Because IC 36-1-24 treats owner-occupied STRs as ordinary residential uses, the city cannot single out STRs for stricter noise limits, though it can enforce its generally applicable rules against them. Hosts commonly set quiet hours and house rules to prevent complaints, and Airbnb/Vrbo require guests to follow local rules, but the enforceable baseline is Anderson's general noise/nuisance ordinance, not an STR-only one.
Noise complaints are enforced under Anderson's general noise/nuisance ordinance, typically starting with police response or a warning and escalating to citations and fines set by that ordinance.
