Brazoria County has no STR-specific noise ordinance. In unincorporated areas, unreasonable noise is addressed only under Texas disorderly-conduct law. Inside cities like Pearland, the municipal noise ordinance applies to STR guests.
There is no county short-term-rental noise rule because Brazoria County cannot enact general zoning or nuisance-noise ordinances the way cities can. In unincorporated areas, the practical noise backstop is Texas Penal Code §42.01(a)(5), which makes it disorderly conduct to make 'unreasonable noise' in a public place or near a private residence. Inside a city, the city's noise ordinance governs STR guests directly, and Pearland ties STR operation to compliance with local codes and a responsible-party contact so complaints can be handled quickly. Hosts should set clear quiet-hours house rules regardless of location, since neighbors can call county constables or city police.
Disorderly-conduct 'unreasonable noise' under Texas Penal Code §42.01 is a Class C misdemeanor (fine up to $500); city noise-ordinance violations carry municipal fines.
