Short-term rental guests in Grove City are subject to the same noise ordinance as residents under Codified Ordinance Chapter 509. Quiet hours generally apply 10 PM to 7 AM, and hosts are responsible for guest compliance.
Grove City Codified Ordinance 509.08 (Disturbing the Peace) prohibits unreasonable noise audible beyond the property line during nighttime hours. STR hosts should post house rules including quiet hours, maximum outdoor gathering sizes, and contact information for a local responsible party. Repeat noise complaints at the same STR address can trigger zoning enforcement and nuisance abatement. Pool and hot tub use should be restricted during quiet hours, and amplified music outdoors is discouraged after 10 PM.
Noise violation: minor misdemeanor, fine up to 150 dollars for first offense under Chapter 509. Repeat violations within 12 months: up to 250 dollars and potential 30 days Mayor's Court jurisdiction. Chronic nuisance STR may face zoning enforcement.
