Folsom STR occupancy is typically limited to 2 persons per bedroom plus 2 additional (e.g., a 3-bedroom home caps at 8 overnight guests). Daytime visitors may be separately capped. Events and weddings at STRs are generally prohibited.
Occupancy limits align with standard California residential health and safety standards. Folsom STR permits typically specify a maximum overnight occupancy of 2 persons per bedroom plus 2 additional persons, not to exceed a specific cap (often 10-12 in larger homes). Infants may or may not count depending on the permit condition. Daytime occupancy, including visitors, is often capped at 2x the overnight number. Commercial events — weddings, receptions, corporate parties, filmings — are prohibited at STRs in residential zones. The occupancy limit must be clearly stated in the rental listing and house rules. Septic-served properties may have lower caps based on system design.
Exceeding occupancy: $500 first, $1,000 second, $2,500 third. Hosting a prohibited event: permit revocation possible after one violation.
