Grove City applies general residential occupancy limits under the Ohio Building Code and zoning definitions of family. STRs should follow the 2-persons-per-bedroom-plus-2 guideline common in Ohio municipalities.
Grove City does not set a specific STR occupancy cap, but the Ohio Residential Code limits habitable room occupancy based on square footage (minimum 70 sq ft for first occupant, 50 sq ft each additional in a bedroom). Zoning code defines family to limit unrelated adults, which may constrain group rentals. Practical STR occupancy typically follows 2 per bedroom plus 2 additional. Fire code limits also apply for egress.
