Section 46 requires every short-term rental to comply with the Jefferson County Noise Abatement Policy. A 24-hour Local Representative must be reachable to respond to problems, including noise complaints from neighbors.
Beyond the STR-specific rules, an STR must operate in compliance with the Jefferson County Noise Abatement Policy and all applicable County and state law, including Colorado's maximum permissible noise levels under CRS 25-12-103 (residential zones limited to roughly 55 dBA daytime / 50 dBA nighttime). Section 46 backstops noise enforcement by requiring the owner to designate a Local Representative located no more than 30 minutes away, available 24 hours, with access and authority to make decisions. Neighbors receive the representative's contact information within seven days of license approval so complaints can be addressed quickly.
Noise violations are enforced through the County Noise Abatement Policy and Colorado law; repeated STR noncompliance can trigger the graduated STR fine schedule and license revocation.
