Short-term rental guests follow the same local noise codes as everyone else. Granville goes further, requiring a 24-hour local manager who must answer disorderly-conduct and disturbance complaints. Newark's 50 dBA overnight limit applies to rentals too.
Licking County STRs must obey local noise ordinances - Newark's 60/50 dBA residential limits and its overnight ban on loud music, or Granville's equivalent code. Granville's Chapter 1182 adds real teeth: every rental must name a property manager who lives in Licking County or a contiguous county and is reachable 24 hours a day to respond to disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, littering, and vandalism. Repeated problems are grounds to suspend or revoke the permit. Newark hosts have no local-contact mandate but are still responsible for guests keeping under the 50 dBA overnight limit. In the townships, deputies enforce state disorderly-conduct law.
A noisy Granville rental can trigger permit suspension or revocation for repeated disturbances. In Newark, guest noise is cited as a minor misdemeanor under Chapter 634, with the host still responsible.
