St. Johns County LDC 2.02.04.B.19 requires every short-term rental to disclose and follow the county Noise Ordinance 2015-19, giving each guest a copy of the ordinance in the lease agreement.
St. Johns County has no separate decibel rule for rentals; instead its STR ordinance folds in the general noise code. Compliance with Noise Ordinance 2015-19 must be disclosed in the lease and a copy provided to every transient occupant. Guests are therefore bound by the same plainly-audible standard, the 10:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. night windows, and the 100-foot distance test as any resident. The Sheriff's Office responds to a loud rental like any disturbance. Because rentals are locally registered, repeated guest noise can expose the owner to enforcement, and Nocatee and World Golf Village HOAs add their own quiet rules.
Guests face noise citations of $53 to $500. Three violations at the same rental within 180 days let St. Johns County pursue the owner or operator directly for Land Development Code enforcement.
