Indian River County vacation rentals must follow the county noise ordinance, and Code Sec. 911.15 flatly bars using a single-family rental for a commercial event - weddings and catered parties with music, dancing, tents, or alcohol.
Although Florida preempts STR bans, Indian River County regulates rental noise and parties directly. Guests are bound by the same Chapter 974 rules as residents, including the 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. sound-device window. On top of that, Sec. 911.15 prohibits leasing a single-family residence as the location for a commercial event - defined in Sec. 901.03 as a gathering characterized by music, dancing, catered food, tents, outdoor tables, alcohol, or shuttle and valet service. A 24/7 manager contact must respond to complaints, and HOA and CDD quiet rules add another layer.
A prohibited commercial event at a rental is a code violation: $1,000 for a first event and up to $5,000 per repeat event. Ordinary noise complaints are cited under Chapter 974.
