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

Sandy City Code § 21-11-26 makes noise and nuisance control a mandatory property maintenance condition of every STR license. The owner must ensure all renters are aware of and adhere to Chapter 13-2, the Noise Control Chapter of the Sandy City Code, and Salt Lake County Health Department Health Regulation No. 21, Community Noise Pollution Control. The enforcement trigger is strict and automatic: if a renter violates the Noise Control Chapter more than once in any given 72-hour period, the owner shall immediately evict all renters from the property.

This is a direct, non-discretionary duty on the owner, not merely a City enforcement option. The rule is reinforced through the required in-unit informational packet, which must include a copy of the Sandy City Ordinance on Noise Control, Chapter 13-2, and a copy of the county Health Regulation No. 21, alongside emergency and nonemergency contact information for the Sandy City Police and Fire Departments and the STR's address. The owner or a designated representative must also be available to respond to complaints, including noise complaints, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by telephone, and be able to physically respond within one hour of a legitimate complaint; if the owner cannot be reached after three attempted contacts by the City, the City issues a notice of violation directly to the owner.
