Cheyenne ties short-term rental maximum occupancy to bedroom count and building code egress, with the UDC and adopted IBC limiting total guests to ensure life-safety standards in dwellings used for transient lodging.
Cheyenne UDC and the adopted International Building Code govern occupancy limits for short-term rental dwellings. The conventional formula caps overnight guests at two persons per bedroom plus two additional, subject to the dwelling having proper egress windows and smoke detectors in each sleeping room. Daytime gatherings may face stricter caps if the property is in a residential zone where commercial event hosting is prohibited. Operators must post the maximum occupancy inside the rental. Enforcement comes through Cheyenne Planning and Development complaints and fire code inspections by Cheyenne Fire Rescue.
Exceeding occupancy caps risks zoning citations, fire code violations, permit revocation, and personal injury liability if egress or fire-safety standards are inadequate for the actual headcount.
