Summary
Short-term rental guests follow the same noise rules as residents: the City of Peoria's noise code, including Sec. 15-62's 10 p.m. limit, and disorderly conduct law, 720 ILCS 5/26-1, in the unincorporated county. Repeat complaints can jeopardize a Peoria rental license.
A person commits disorderly conduct when he or she knowingly: (1) Does any act in such unreasonable manner as to alarm or disturb another and to provoke a breach of the peace
Full Breakdown
Peoria County has no separate STR noise standard; guests answer to the same codes as everyone else. In the City of Peoria, that means Sec. 15-62, which bars sound devices from unreasonably disturbing neighbors after 10:00 p.m. (11:00 p.m. downtown), plus the general nuisance provisions. Because conduct ties back to the Short-Term Rental License, repeated verified noise or party complaints can lead to enforcement against the license, not just a one-off fine. In unincorporated areas, the Sheriff enforces the disorderly conduct statute, 720 ILCS 5/26-1. Hosts remain responsible for their guests' behavior.
Violations & Fines
Guest noise draws a City of Peoria noise-code fine and, in unincorporated areas, a disorderly conduct charge under 720 ILCS 5/26-1. In Peoria, repeat complaints can threaten the Short-Term Rental License.
