Full Breakdown
The City of Conroe does not have an STR-specific ordinance that sets occupancy limits for short-term rentals. General building occupancy limits under the International Building Code (adopted via Chapter 14) apply based on the structure's design and fire safety features. In practice, maximum occupancy is determined by the number of bedrooms and available egress. Deed restrictions in many Conroe subdivisions may impose guest limits or prohibit STRs entirely. Texas has no statewide occupancy cap for STRs.
Violations & Fines
No STR-specific occupancy violations. General fire code occupancy violations apply if building capacity is exceeded.
