Baton Rouge's short-term rental rules do not set a separate noise standard for rentals. Noise complaints are handled under the City-Parish noise ordinance, and each adjudicated noise violation counts toward the three-strike rule that can shut a rental down for a year.
The short-term rental regulations do not create a distinct decibel or quiet-hours rule for rentals. Instead, noise at a short-term rental is treated under the general City-Parish noise ordinance that applies to all properties. Critically, the STR rules make noise complaints consequential: any short-term rental loses the ability to operate for one year if three violations are reported and adjudicated during one calendar year, and noise is a common triggering violation cited when the ordinance was adopted.
Three reported and adjudicated violations (including noise) in one calendar year end the rental's ability to operate for one year.
