Paulding County sets no STR-specific noise rules, so short-term rental guests follow the same county noise ordinance as everyone else: Code § 46-62 bars sound plainly audible 50 feet away between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m.
Because Paulding County has no short-term rental ordinance, guest noise is governed by the general noise controls in Chapter 46, Article III. A radio, speaker, or instrument plainly audible 50 feet away between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. is a prima facie violation under § 46-62(1), and yelling or singing that disturbs a residence in those hours is barred under § 46-62(3). With no STR permit to revoke, enforcement runs against the guest or host directly through Marshal's Bureau or Sheriff citations. A signed complaint and a recording are typically needed. Dallas and Hiram apply their own noise codes to rentals inside the cities.
Guest noise breaching § 46-62 is cited by the Marshal's Bureau or Sheriff to magistrate, state, or superior court. There is no STR license to suspend, so penalties fall on the responsible individual.
