Jefferson Parish does not publish a simple guests-per-bedroom cap on its permit page. Any maximum-occupancy limits for short-term rentals are set within the zoning standards at JPCO 33-5.3.12.5(7) and Chapter 17.5, and are verified during the required code inspection.
The parish's STR standards live in the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance section 33-5.3.12.5(7) and Chapter 17.5 of the Code of Ordinances. Before applying, the parish advises confirming the zoning district's criteria, which may include occupancy, parking, and property-type restrictions. An interior inspection by Code Compliance and Enforcement verifies conformity with those sections before a license issues. Because we could not open the full verbatim text of that zoning section, residents should consult it directly or contact the parish for the exact occupancy figures. Incorporated cities within the parish set their own occupancy caps.
Exceeding the occupancy limits established in the STR zoning standards is a code violation that can lead to citation and revocation of the STR lodging license.
