Short-term rental guests follow the same rule as residents: Harford County Code § 193-8 bars noise audible more than 50 feet onto residential property between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. Repeat complaints threaten a host's local license.
Harford County writes no rental-specific noise rule, so guests answer to Harford County Code § 193-8 and the COMAR 26.02.03.02 property-line limits like any resident. From 11 p.m. to 6 a.m., guest noise cannot be audible more than 50 feet onto neighboring residential property. Bel Air and Havre de Grace fold noise conditions into their short-term rental licenses, so a host with repeated complaints can lose the license, not just pay a fine. Bel Air requires an owner or caretaker inside Harford County who can respond. The Sheriff's Office and municipal police handle the disturbance itself.
Guest noise audible on residential property after 11 p.m. draws a civil fine under § 193-8; repeat complaints can cost a Bel Air or Havre de Grace license.
