STR guests are bound by the same Chapter 368 noise rules as residents: 10 PM - 7 AM quiet hours, plainly-audible standard at 50 feet. Owners are responsible for guest behavior.
Jacksonville/Duval does not have a separate STR noise ordinance, but repeated noise citations at the same rental can trigger nuisance-property proceedings. Beaches Cities enforce stricter STR-specific rules. Owners commonly install noise monitors to avoid escalation. This noise rules rule under Duval County's short term rentals ordinances applies to unincorporated areas of Duval County. For current statutory text, amendments, enforcement procedures, fines, appeal options, and any exemptions that may apply to your situation, contact Duval County code enforcement directly or consult the official Florida municipal code library. Ordinances change periodically; always verify with local staff before relying on summary information.
