Occupancy Limits: Concord vs Martinez

Concord applies standard residential occupancy standards from the California Building Code and HUD guidance to short-term rentals. A common rule of thumb is 2 persons per bedroom plus 2 additional occupants, with a hard cap tied to bedroom count and egress capacity. Overnight occupancy plus daytime visitors must not create parking, noise, or nuisance impacts that violate Concord's residential standards.

Martinez limits short-term rental occupancy based on bedroom count and building code standards. The general rule is 2 occupants per bedroom plus 2 additional, with a hard cap tied to fire and life-safety code. Operators must post occupancy limits inside the rental and include them in platform listings.
