Troup County, GA Short-Term Rentals: Noise Rules (2026)

UDO § 7.6(15)(d)([11])(iv) requires every STR owner-applicant to post house policies in each guest bedroom and incorporate them into the signed rental agreement. At a minimum those policies must state that quiet hours run from dusk to dawn, during which noise inside or outside the rental cannot disturb anyone on a neighboring property, and that amplified sound audible beyond the STR's property boundaries is prohibited outright, with no dusk-to-dawn limitation on that ban. The same house policies must designate approved guest parking, set garbage pickup terms, and prohibit parties or group gatherings that exceed the maximum allowed guest count or that risk causing traffic, parking, or noise problems in the neighborhood.

Under § 7.6(15)(d)([11])(v)-(vi), the owner-applicant must ensure occupants do not create unreasonable noise or disorderly conduct and, once notified of a violation, must prevent it from recurring or face fines and permit revocation. Section 7.6(15)(e)(9) separately caps nighttime occupancy (dusk to dawn) at the dwelling's maximum daytime occupancy plus four people, and subsection (e)(10) bars weddings, special events, and commercial functions likely to cause noise or traffic problems.
