Baton Rouge does not impose an annual cap on the number of nights a short-term rental may operate. Instead of a rented-night limit, the City-Parish controls rentals through registration, permits for non-owner-occupied units, and a three-strike violation rule.
Some cities limit how many nights per year a short-term rental may be booked. The City of Baton Rouge / East Baton Rouge Parish rules do not set such a night cap. A short-term rental is simply defined by stay length (fewer than 30 consecutive days per guest party), and there is no maximum number of rental nights per year. The parish instead relies on tax registration, the owner-occupied versus non-owner-occupied permit distinction, occupancy and parking limits, and the loss-of-operation penalty after three adjudicated violations.
There is no night-cap penalty. Enforcement runs through the three-strike rule: three adjudicated violations in a calendar year end operation for one year.
