Glynn County, GA Short-Term Rentals: Noise Rules (2026)

, occupancy cannot exceed the ordinance's maximum occupancy rate, defined in § 2-31-3(j) as two persons per bedroom plus two more, capped at 15 total regardless of children (children under 12 are excluded from the headcount but not from the 15-person ceiling). Neither the renting party nor the owner or Certificate holder may allow that rate to be exceeded, but the rule singles out the overnight window because that is when noise and party complaints from neighbors concentrate. Beyond the occupancy cap, § 2-31-7(f)(v) requires every rental to post, on a notice near the front door, the county's noise ordinance regulations and a statement telling occupants that violating the noise ordinance is also a violation of the Short-Term Rental Ordinance, doubling the exposure: a loud, late gathering can draw both a county noise citation and a separate short-term-rental fine.

The rental cannot be used to host a commercial event of any kind under § 2-31-7(b), closing off wedding-and-party rental use that would otherwise draw the largest crowds and the most noise complaints.
