Camarillo does not have STR-specific occupancy limits since short-term rentals are not permitted. General building and housing code occupancy standards apply to all dwellings. California Building Code minimum room sizes and HOA occupancy restrictions provide the governing framework.
Without a dedicated short-term rental ordinance, Camarillo relies on the California Building Code (adopted by reference in CMC Title 16) for occupancy standards. The CBC requires minimum habitable room sizes (70 sq ft for the first occupant, 50 sq ft for each additional). Single-family zoning under Title 19 limits occupancy to one family per dwelling unit. California Health and Safety Code Section 17920.3 defines overcrowding standards. Many Camarillo HOAs have specific occupancy limits in their CC&Rs, particularly for condos and townhomes, often restricting the number of permanent residents and overnight guests. The city's Social Host Responsibility ordinance (CMC 10.32) makes property owners liable for large gatherings that disturb the peace, providing indirect occupancy control.
Overcrowding violations are enforced through building code compliance under CMC Title 16. Social host violations for large gatherings at CMC 10.32.040. HOA occupancy violations are enforced through the association. Contact Community Development at (805) 388-5360.
