Atlanta caps STR occupancy at 2 persons per bedroom plus 2 additional persons. South Fulton uses similar bedroom-based caps under its STR permit. Sandy Springs follows Georgia state building-code occupancy.
Atlanta Code Part 20 limits occupancy to 2 persons per bedroom + 2 — a 3-bedroom STR can host 8 guests maximum. South Fulton ties occupancy to the bedroom count in the STR permit application. The county's unincorporated zones default to single-family occupancy under the Fulton County Zoning Resolution Article 3 definitions (related individuals or up to 4 unrelated persons in R-zones).
Atlanta: civil fines up to $1,000/day for overcrowded STR operation; license revocation after repeat offenses.
