Before renting, every short-term rental owner or host in unincorporated Clayton County must post the county's noise ordinance in a visible location inside the unit, putting guests on notice of the county noise limits.
Section 22-901(e) of the Clayton County Code requires that, prior to rental of the unit, all owners or hosts post the county's noise ordinance in a visible location in the short-term rental unit. The posting requirement ensures guests are aware of the county noise rules and their time and decibel limits, which apply to the rental like any other property. Enforcement of noise itself runs through the county noise ordinance and code enforcement, while the STR article ties the host's permit to compliance. Because Clayton County sits next to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, aircraft noise is federally regulated and outside the county's control, but ground-level party, music, and amplified-sound complaints at rentals are handled locally.
Failing to post the noise ordinance violates Section 22-901(e). Repeated noise complaints or noncompliance with article requirements are grounds for denial, suspension, or revocation of the STR permit under Section 22-902, and can trigger a cease-and-desist notice under Section 22-903.
