STR guests in Baton Rouge must comply with the city-parish noise ordinance (Title 12, Chapter 2). Nighttime noise restrictions of 10 PM-7 AM apply. Hosts are responsible for informing guests of rules.
Baton Rouge's noise ordinance applies to all residents and visitors including STR guests. Noise plainly audible at residential property boundaries between 10 PM and 7 AM is prohibited. STR hosts should inform guests of noise rules before arrival. Loud parties, amplified music, and other disturbances at STR properties generate complaints that may affect the operator's registration status. Neighbors can report noise issues to BRPD or the Department of Development.
Noise complaints at STR properties are tracked. Repeated violations may affect the operator's permit or registration.
