STR occupancy in unincorporated LA County is subject to building and fire code occupancy limits. While the county does not currently have STR-specific occupancy caps, general building code limits apply based on the dwelling's size and number of bedrooms. Fire code limits are set by the number of exits and the square footage of the unit. Hosting platforms recommend a standard of 2 guests per bedroom plus 2 additional. Exceeding occupancy limits creates fire safety, parking, and noise concerns. Large gatherings in STRs may constitute party houses subject to nuisance enforcement.
Exceeding building code occupancy limits is a fire safety violation with fines of $250-$1,000. Large unauthorized gatherings (party houses) can result in nuisance citations of $1,000+ per incident. Hosts whose properties become known as party venues face enhanced penalties and potential nuisance designation. Some hosting platforms have banned party listings entirely.
