Salem caps accessory short-term rentals at 2 guests per room. Hosted accessory rentals allow up to 3 guest rooms; non-hosted accessory rentals cap the whole home at 10 guests total.
Salem sets occupancy by license type. A hosted accessory short-term rental may offer up to 3 guest rooms with a maximum of 2 guests per room. A non-hosted accessory rental of the entire home or guest house is limited to 2 guests per room up to 10 guests total, with no simultaneous multiple bookings. Standard short-term rentals size their guest count to what the building code allows for the structure. Unincorporated Marion County sets no separate STR occupancy cap; a rural dwelling's use is governed by its zoning and building code.
Exceeding the posted occupancy or licensed guest count is a license violation subject to Salem code enforcement, penalties, and possible revocation.
