Frisco, TX Short-Term Rentals: Occupancy Limits (2026)

Frisco Code of Ordinances Section 18-463(a)(4) requires an STR permit application to include a floor plan identifying sleeping areas and the proposed maximum number of guests, but the article does not set its own numeric cap; the binding limit comes from state law. 010(a) caps occupancy at three times the number of bedrooms in the dwelling, counting adults. A landlord may exceed that rate only if federal or state fair housing law requires it, or to shelter someone fleeing family violence for up to one month (Sec.

010(b)). "Bedroom" is defined to mean an area intended as sleeping quarters, excluding a kitchen, dining room, bathroom, living room, utility room, closet or storage area (Sec. 010(d)(2)), so a den or converted garage does not count toward the bedroom total unless it functions as sleeping space. A neighbor who owns or leases a dwelling within 3,000 feet of a violating STR, or a governmental entity or civic association acting for that neighbor, can sue to enjoin the overcrowding and recover $500 per violation plus court costs and reasonable attorney's fees (Sec.

010(c)). On the local side, Frisco's Section 18-465(1) bars an STR from using its yard to satisfy required off-street parking, which indirectly caps how many vehicles, and by extension how many separate parties, a rental can accommodate on site.
