Short-term rental guests in Hudson County are subject to the same municipal noise ordinances as any other resident or visitor. No county-level noise rules specifically targeting STR guests exist. STR operators are responsible for ensuring guest compliance with local noise ordinances, which can result in fines and permit revocation.
Hudson County does not impose special noise rules on STR guests beyond ordinary municipal noise ordinances. However, municipalities like Jersey City and Hoboken — which have active STR programs — hold operators accountable for guest noise violations. Operators who receive repeated noise complaints from STR guests can face permit suspension or revocation. In the densely populated Jersey City and Hoboken neighborhoods, noise complaints from STR units are common enforcement triggers. Guests are subject to the same quiet hours as residents (typically 10 PM to 7 AM in most municipalities). Operators should include noise rules in their rental agreements. Contact your municipality's code enforcement for specific rules.
Guest noise violations result in municipal fines (typically $100–$1,000). Operators face permit revocation for repeated violations. No county-level STR-specific noise penalty.
