Florida's STR preemption expressly lets counties enforce noise ordinances against vacation rentals, as long as the rule applies to all properties. Lake County's noise ordinance and nuisance rules apply to guests just as they do to residents.
FS 509.032(7)(b) blocks bans and duration/frequency limits, but the statute preserves local authority to enforce noise, nuisance, and disturbance ordinances that apply uniformly. In unincorporated Lake County, the county noise ordinance and nuisance provisions govern loud parties, amplified music, and late-night disturbances at any dwelling, including a vacation rental. Quiet-hour and disturbance standards are enforced by code enforcement and the Lake County Sheriff's Office. Hosts are wise to post house rules and quiet hours; repeated guest disturbances can escalate the property to nuisance status.
Noise and disturbance violations draw citations and fines under the county ordinance; chronic problems can be pursued as a public nuisance and referred to the Sheriff's Office.
