Wyoming short-term rental hosts are responsible for guest noise under the city's general noise and nuisance provisions in the Wyoming Code of Ordinances. The city does not impose an STR-specific decibel limit, so disturbances are enforced through the citywide noise chapter and Michigan's disorderly-persons statute (MCL 750.167). Repeat noise complaints at an STR address can support nonrenewal of the rental certificate under the city's Rental Property Registration program operating pursuant to Michigan PA 247 of 2014 (MCL 125.526).
Wyoming does not maintain an STR-specific noise rule, so guest disturbances are policed under the same provisions that apply to any Wyoming dwelling. The Wyoming Code of Ordinances (Municode, library.municode.com/mi/wyoming) prohibits noise that is loud, prolonged, or disturbing to neighbors, with quiet hours commonly treated as 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. as a practical enforcement window; hosts should consult the current code or contact Wyoming Police non-emergency dispatch (616-530-7300) to confirm the local nuisance noise window. Michigan's disorderly-persons statute, MCL 750.167, provides backup criminal liability for persistent loud or disturbing conduct, with a misdemeanor ceiling of 90 days in jail and a $500 fine. Wyoming Department of Public Safety officers respond to noise complaints and routinely issue citations tied to the property address. Because Wyoming's rental registration program operates under the authority of MCL 125.526, Building Inspections tracks complaint history at each registered rental address and treats repeated noise complaints as evidence of nonconforming operation when reviewing the certificate of compliance for renewal. STR hosts should post house rules listing quiet hours, install passive noise-monitoring devices (Minut, NoiseAware) that respect guest privacy, and maintain a 24-hour local responder per platform requirements to head off escalation.
Citations under the Wyoming noise chapter are processed as civil infractions through the 62A District Court (Wyoming), with fines escalating per occurrence. MCL 750.167 disorderly-persons charges carry up to 90 days in jail and a $500 fine for the guest individually. Documented repeat complaints at a registered rental address can support nonrenewal of the certificate of compliance and exposure under MCL 125.530, which conditions Michigan landlord eviction rights on rental compliance.
