Fishers enforces noise at short-term rentals through its general noise and nuisance provisions, not an STR-only quiet-hours rule. Indiana Code 36-1-24-10 expressly lets the City regulate STR noise, provided it enforces the same way it does for any comparable home.
Indiana Code 36-1-24-10 lists noise as a permissible subject of local STR regulation, alongside protection of welfare, property maintenance and nuisance issues — but requires that any enforcement be performed in the same manner as for similar properties that are not short-term rentals. Fishers does not publish a separate STR-specific noise ordinance; instead, disturbances at a short-term rental are handled under the City's general noise/nuisance rules and police response, the same framework applied to any residence. Repeated noise or nuisance complaints carry real consequences for an STR: UDO Section 5.4.6 authorizes revocation of a short-term rental approval after three (3) or more citations within a calendar year, and the Chapter 163 home-rental program separately treats properties generating excessive calls for service (more than seven calls) as grounds for permit action — illustrating the City's broader emphasis on calls-for-service. Hosts should set clear guest quiet-hour expectations and provide a responsive local contact, since noise complaints are the most common STR enforcement trigger.
Excessive noise or disturbances are citable under the City's general noise and nuisance provisions. Three or more citations within a calendar year can support revocation of an STR's approval under UDO 5.4.6. Enforcement must, per IC 36-1-24-10, mirror how the City treats comparable non-STR properties.
