Yilan eyeing fines for hotel over late-night music
Yilan eyeing fines for hotel over late-night music
2025-10-23
A homestay in Yilan’s Sanxing Township has been the target of complaints lately for playing electronic music well past 10 at night and disturbing the neighbors’ sleep. This type of homestay is common in the area, and they often play music or set off fireworks. The Yilan County Business and Tourism Department said that a fine of NT$10,000 to NT$50,000 could be issued if they are found to have disturbed the peace. Their license could also be revoked if they’re in a townhouse, but if it’s a standalone building, the only option is to keep issuing fines.
With electronic music blaring and its outdoor lights glaring, the vibes at this homestay are off the charts. But there’s nothing all around it, not even cars on the road. It’s already past 10pm, and the neighbors have had enough.
Neighbor
They sometimes play their music super loud. Sometimes they set off fireworks. I’m OK with it, but some people around here have told me it’s too noisy.
Neighbor
The sound will make my bed vibrate.
This homestay in Yilan’s Sanxing Township will often play loud music after 10. There are a number of these vexing establishments in the area that will play music or set off fireworks, even late into the night.

Yilan Business and Tourism Department director
If residents discover disturbing behavior from a homestay, they can report it to police or the environment bureau to investigate. If it’s found to be accurate, they could be fined NT$10,000 to NT$50,000 under law.
According to the Act for the Development of Tourism, if a hotel or homestay creates too much noise from 10pm to 8am the next day, they can be fined between NT$10,000 and NT$50,000. If they’re part of a townhouse structure and are penalized more than twice, the neighborhood could decide to revoke their license. But if they’re in a standalone building, the law only allows for continuous fines, and the county has no way to revoke their license.

民宿深夜"電音擾民" 縣府:查證屬實可開罰
2025-10-23
宜蘭三星鄉有間民宿，近日遭到投訴，過了晚上十點還在放電音舞曲，吵得附近居民睡不著覺，離譜的是，這樣類型的民宿，在當地還不算少，不是放舞曲，就是放煙火。縣府工旅處回應，如果噪音查證屬實，可開罰一到五萬，連棟式民宿還可決議撤照，但如果是獨棟的，只能連續開罰。
電音舞曲響徹雲霄，搭配上亮到不行的燈光，民宿氣氛一級棒，不過看看周圍環境，是一片漆黑，連車都沒有的大馬路，而且已經過了晚上十點，附近居民不堪其擾！

“有時候音樂聲放很大聲，有時候都放煙火。我是還好啦，可是這邊有很多住戶都跟我講說很吵啊。”
[[附近居民]]
“很像感覺床會震動這樣。”
這間在宜蘭三星鄉的民宿，晚上大聲播放音樂，但讓附近居民最受不了的是，這樣噪音惱人的民宿，在當地還不算少，有的放電子音樂，有的放煙火，時間甚至持續到凌晨。
[[宜蘭縣政府工旅處長 李東儒]]
“只要民眾發現，民宿有擾人的相關行為的話，可以報警或是請環保局到場，查證屬實的話，依照發展觀光條例，可以處罰一萬到五萬的罰鍰。”
根據發展觀光條例，每天晚上十點到隔天早上八點，如果民宿太吵，除了可以開罰一到五萬外，連棟式社區內開的民宿，被裁處2次以上，社區所有權人，可開會決議該民宿是否撤照。但如果是獨棟式的民宿，因法律目前授權不足，因此縣政府目前只能連續開罰，無法撤照。
