Rental guests follow the same state noise code as residents, N.J.A.C. 7:29-1.2, capping overnight sound at 50 dBA at a property line, plus each town's ordinance. Atlantic City, Brigantine, and Margate can revoke a host's license for repeat noise.
No STR-specific county noise rule exists in Atlantic County. Guests answer to the state noise code, N.J.A.C. 7:29, limiting sound at a residential property line to 65 dBA by day and 50 dBA after 10 p.m., and to disorderly conduct law N.J.S.A. 2C:33-2. The shore towns tie noise directly to the rental license: Atlantic City requires a local contact who responds within one hour, and Brigantine, Ventnor, and Margate write quiet-hour and nuisance conditions into the license, so a noisy rental risks losing its certificate, not just a fine. Police handle the disturbance itself.
Guest noise draws a municipal ordinance fine and possible disorderly conduct charge under N.J.S.A. 2C:33-2. In the shore towns, repeat complaints can cost the host the seasonal certificate or mercantile license.
