Short-term rental guests in unincorporated Johnson County are bound by the county's nuisance/noise provisions — noise that unreasonably disturbs neighbors, particularly at night, can be cited.
Unincorporated Johnson County doesn't have a special noise code for short-term rentals — guests are simply subject to the county's general nuisance and noise provisions, which prohibit noise that unreasonably disturbs neighbors. Nighttime is where enforcement concentrates, and the sheriff's office responds to complaints. For hosts, the practical move is prevention: post quiet hours in the listing, warn guests that deputies do respond, and act on neighbor complaints yourself before they become official ones. A pattern of noise calls at a rental property tends to draw broader county attention to the operation.
