Galt STR occupancy typically follows 2 persons per bedroom plus 2 extra, subject to fire code maximums. Operators must post limits, enforce them, and large parties are generally prohibited.
Occupancy limits for Galt STRs follow California Building Code and Galt zoning standards. A common formula is two occupants per bedroom plus two additional, not to exceed ten total for most single-family homes. These limits apply to overnight guests, not daytime visitors, though large daytime gatherings are typically prohibited as unpermitted special events. Operators must post occupancy limits inside the unit and in the listing. Violations of occupancy limits by guests are the operator's responsibility under the STR permit. Overcrowding creates fire-safety risks and is enforceable by code enforcement and fire marshals. Sleeping areas must have proper egress windows per California Building Code Chapter 10.
Overcrowding: 250 dollar per-night fine, permit review for repeat offenders, possible fire code citation.
