Jefferson Parish does not publish a maximum number of rental nights per year for licensed short-term rentals. The core limits are zoning-based (mixed-use/commercial only) plus the primary-residence rule and a 45-day per-stay ceiling that defines an STR.
Unlike some jurisdictions that cap unhosted rentals at a set number of nights per year, Jefferson Parish's published STR framework instead controls rentals through zoning eligibility (JPCO 33-5.3.12.5(7)), the primary-residence requirement, annual licensing, and taxation. A short-term rental is defined as a rental for less than 45 days; stays of 30 or more consecutive days fall outside the STR license as long-term rentals. Because we could not open the full verbatim zoning ordinance, residents should confirm with Planning & Zoning whether any night limits apply in their specific district.
There is no published night-cap penalty; enforcement focuses on operating without a valid license, in a prohibited zone, or outside the primary-residence rule.
