Brazoria County sets no STR occupancy limit in unincorporated areas because it cannot zone. Pearland caps occupancy at two adults per bedroom plus two more, never exceeding ten people total including children.
Occupancy limits for short-term rentals come from city ordinances, not the county. Unincorporated Brazoria County has no STR occupancy rule. Pearland's Ordinance 1611 (Chapter 20) sets an explicit cap: two adult guests per bedroom, plus up to two additional adults, with a hard ceiling of ten total persons counting adults and children. Combined with the parking rule (one off-street space per bedroom), this limits how large a group a Pearland STR can host. Other Brazoria County cities set their own limits, so verify occupancy caps with the city where the property sits before booking a large group.
Exceeding Pearland's occupancy cap is a violation of the STR ordinance, enforceable by citation and fines and potential permit revocation; unincorporated county has no cap to enforce.
