Every Larimer County short-term rental is subject to the Larimer County Noise Ordinance. Environmental Health enforces it during business hours; the Sheriff's Office handles noise and disorderly conduct after hours. A property manager must respond to complaints within one hour.
The STR ordinance's 'good neighbor' provision (Section 8.G) makes the countywide Noise Ordinance binding on all rentals. Daytime enforcement runs through the Larimer County Department of Environmental Health, while after-hours noise and disorderly conduct fall to the Larimer County Sheriff's Office. Because a designated property manager must be reachable 24/7 and able to respond to any complaint within one hour, noise problems are meant to be resolved quickly. A noise or disorderly-conduct citation from the Sheriff counts as a violation of the STR ordinance and can accumulate toward license revocation.
Noise or disorderly-conduct incidents count as ordinance violations; repeated documented violations feed a Show Cause process that can suspend or revoke the STR license.
