Logan, UT Short-Term Rentals: Noise Rules (2026)

Subsections (D) and (E) of Section 5.15.100 of the Logan Municipal Code put noise duties on short term rental owners. Subsection (D) first sends each rental to LMC Chapter 8.16 Sound and Vibration, then adds a rental-specific rule: quiet hours shall be established, posted, and enforced for the short term rental, and they run between ten o’clock p.m. and eight o’clock a.m. The posted rules list required by § 5.15.080(D) is where guests see those hours.

Subsection (E) sets the response duty. When the owner and designated local contact are notified that occupants or their guests created unreasonable noise or disturbances, or violated provisions of the Logan Municipal Code on noise or disorderly conduct, they must promptly act within sixty minutes to prevent continuation or a recurrence. Section 5.15.070(B) uses the same sixty minute clock for any complaint and requires the local contact to reach the occupant and resolve the issue, with a follow-up visit to the property if the contact tried and could not resolve it.

Chapter 8.16, the Noise Control Ordinance of the City of Logan, supplies the baseline. Section 8.16.400 bars any person from unreasonably making, continuing, or causing any noise disturbance. Section 8.16.412 lists operating or playing a radio, television, drum, musical instrument, sound amplifier or similar device between ten o’clock p.m. and seven o’clock a.m. the next day in a way that creates a noise disturbance across a real property boundary or within a noise sensitive zone. The rental quiet hours therefore run one hour longer in the morning than that window.

Complaints also open the door to inspection. Section 5.15.110(B) lets the city or another authorized agency inspect a unit with a recorded and valid complaint, and anyone can file one, including a city employee. Repeated noise violations by guests count against the owner, because § 5.15.120(B) counts violations committed by an owner or guest, or any combination of the two, toward the three-violation revocation threshold.
