Dunedin sets maximum occupancy for vacation rentals based on the number of bedrooms and life-safety code, consistent with Florida Statute 509.032(7) which caps how cities may regulate occupancy of licensed vacation rentals.
Section 103-14.7.5 of the Dunedin Code establishes Vacation Rental Standards including maximum overnight occupancy. Florida Statute 509.032(7)(b) authorizes local governments to set occupancy limits up to the more restrictive of two persons per bedroom plus two additional persons per property, or one person per 50 square feet of accommodation. Dunedin applies the statutory framework and requires the responsible party to disclose the occupancy limit and post it inside the rental. The fire-and-life-safety inspection verifies smoke alarms, egress, and capacity before registration is issued.
Exceeding posted occupancy is a Vacation Rental Standards violation and may trigger fines, complaints against the registration, and possible suspension.
