Full Breakdown
Noise at short-term rentals is enforced through each city's noise ordinance. Bountiful conditions its STR permits on compliance with the Bountiful Noise Ordinance, requiring that there be no audible sound at the property line during quiet hours from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. Layton, which does not regulate STRs specifically, enforces its general municipal noise ordinance against any residential property. In unincorporated Davis County, noise is handled as a nuisance under county code and applicable state law. Repeated noise complaints are a common basis for revoking a city STR permit, so hosts should set clear quiet-hour rules for guests.
Violations & Fines
Noise-ordinance violations can bring citations and fines, and in Bountiful can be grounds to suspend or revoke the short-term rental permit.
