In unincorporated Clackamas County, the number of STR occupants may not exceed the number authorized in the registration, and fifteen occupants is the maximum, regardless of home size. This is a hard cap on overnight guests for registered short-term rentals.
The county's STR regulations set overnight occupancy by what the owner declares in the registration, with a firm ceiling. The rule states the number of STR occupants shall not exceed the number authorized in the registration, and fifteen occupants is the maximum. A large mountain lodge cannot be booked for more than 15 people even if it has extra sleeping space. Occupancy interacts with parking, since one off-street space per sleeping area is generally required. Cities within the county set their own occupancy limits.
Exceeding the registered occupancy is a violation of the STR regulations; suspected noncompliance draws up to two written warnings and can lead to registration revocation.
