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

Ogden City Code § 15-13-38.M makes noise enforcement part of the short-term rental licensing scheme rather than a separate track. Noncompliance with the section's standards, allowing the licensed property to become a nuisance through violations of the city noise ordinance or property maintenance standards, failing to maintain the original conditions that justified the license, or entering into a sham transaction each constitute just cause for denial, non-renewal, or revocation. Section 15-13-38.K.7 requires every advertisement to notify guests that street parking is prohibited within two blocks in residential zones, and K.8 requires notice that events are not allowed at the rental at all, reflecting the city's focus on party-type noise sources.

Revocation is not automatic on a complaint: subsection M.1 requires findings of fact at an administrative hearing before a Hearing Officer under Title 5, Chapter 1, Article C, giving the operator a due-process opportunity to contest the noise-related nuisance claim before losing the license. Ogden Police Department responds to noise complaints citywide, and Community and Economic Development's Code Enforcement staff track nuisance conditions tied to licensed short-term rentals for referral to the hearing process.
