Summary
Lehi puts the burden on the host, not the City, to set STR noise limits: Development Code Section 12.240.H requires the owner to establish and enforce curfew and quiet hours reasonable for the surrounding neighborhood, with extra conditions available if noise nuisances continue.
The owner shall establish and enforce curfew and quiet hours that are reasonable and fit in the context of the surrounding neighborhood. Reasonable conditions may be required to mitigate against noise nuisances to neighbors.
Full Breakdown
H does not set a citywide curfew clock or decibel number for short-term rentals; instead it makes the host responsible: "The owner shall establish and enforce curfew and quiet hours that are reasonable and fit in the context of the surrounding neighborhood. " That second sentence gives the City room to impose extra, tailored conditions on a specific STR if noise from that property keeps bothering neighbors, on top of whatever curfew the owner already set. F requires the operator to resolve before its annual business license renews, so unresolved noise problems threaten the license itself, not just a citation.
D of no more than 10 renters, or fewer if parking is tighter, also works against large, noisy gatherings by capping how many people can legally be on site overnight. H is the STR-specific layer that applies on top of that general rule.
Violations & Fines
Failing to establish or enforce reasonable curfew and quiet hours, or ignoring an added noise-mitigation condition, is a Section 12.240 violation enforceable under Section 34.010.D as a class C misdemeanor, with each ten-day period of continued noncompliance a separate offense. Repeated noise complaints also count against annual license renewal under Section 12.240.F and can support license revocation under Section 34.040.
