Short-term rentals in unincorporated Lane County must follow the county's general noise regulations and nuisance code — there is no separate STR noise ordinance. Rural quiet-hour expectations and the Oregon/DEQ noise framework govern guest conduct.
Lane County does not carve out a special noise standard for vacation rentals; guests are held to the same county noise and nuisance provisions as any resident. Excessive or late-night noise that disturbs neighbors is enforced as a nuisance, and the state Department of Environmental Quality historically set community noise standards Oregon jurisdictions reference. Operators are responsible for guest behavior. In incorporated cities, the city noise ordinance and any STR-specific quiet-hour condition apply instead of, or in addition to, county rules.
Noise disturbing neighbors is abatable as a public nuisance; repeated violations can bring county code-enforcement citations against the property owner/operator.
