Hernando applies standard noise ordinance rules to short-term rental properties. STR operators are responsible for ensuring guests comply with local quiet hours.
Hernando holds STR operators responsible for guest behavior under local noise ordinances. Quiet hours of 10 PM to 7 AM apply to rental guests the same as permanent residents. Operators must post house rules including noise restrictions and quiet hours. Neighbors may file complaints against the property owner or operator. Multiple noise violations may result in STR permit revocation. MS Code Ann. §21-19-1 authorizes municipalities to enforce nuisance regulations. Gulf Coast vacation rentals often have stricter enforcement during peak tourist season. Three-strike policies are common for STR noise violations.
First offense: warning to operator. Second offense: $200 to $500 fine. Third offense: permit suspension or revocation. Operators liable for guest violations.
