Boulder City does not publish STR occupancy caps because STRs are banned. Residential occupancy is governed by building code and health standards applicable to all dwellings.
Since Boulder City prohibits short-term rentals citywide as of March 26, 2024, it has not adopted STR-specific occupancy limits such as the two-per-bedroom-plus-two formulas common in other Nevada jurisdictions operating under AB 363 (2021). Residential occupancy in any Boulder City home is still governed by the International Property Maintenance Code and building code standards for square footage per occupant, sleeping room minimums, and egress. Landlord-tenant long-term rentals (30+ days) must follow NRS 118A and basic habitability standards. Illegal STR operations face enforcement under the citywide STR ban regardless of how many guests are present.
STR operation fines up to 500 dollars per day; separate code enforcement for overcrowding.
