Bucks County STR occupancy is governed by municipal ordinances. New Hope Borough and Solebury Township cap occupancy at 2 per bedroom plus 2 additional guests. Most townships tie occupancy to bedroom count and septic capacity.
Bucks County has no county-wide STR ordinance. Municipalities that regulate short-term rentals, including New Hope Borough, Solebury Township, Tinicum Township, and Upper Black Eddy, typically cap maximum overnight occupancy at 2 guests per bedroom plus 2 additional guests, or a hard cap of 10 to 12 people depending on bedroom count. Properties on private septic systems face stricter limits tied to PA DEP septic permit design flows (typically 100 gallons per bedroom per day). Listings must accurately state the permitted maximum. Hosts are responsible for ensuring compliance and must keep a current guest registry. Sleeping in living rooms, garages, basements without egress, or outdoor structures is prohibited. Tent and RV overflow is not counted as permitted occupancy.
First overcrowding complaint: written warning with 10-day notice. Repeat violations: fines $300 to $1,000 per occurrence. Three violations in 12 months: STR permit revocation in New Hope and Solebury.
