Hamilton County sets no STR occupancy cap—your city does through its zoning code. Fishers' overnight-lodging rules cap a bed-and-breakfast at 14 guest rooms; STR occupancy generally follows the dwelling's residential standards.
Occupancy limits are a city zoning matter, not a county one, in heavily-incorporated Hamilton County. Fishers' UDO § 5.4.6 caps a bed-and-breakfast at 14 guest rooms and limits stays to no more than 30 consecutive days per guest. For dwelling-based short-term rentals, occupancy tracks the underlying residential district and building/fire code rather than a fixed county number. State law IC 36-1-24 lets cities regulate for health, safety, and nuisance but forbids limits that effectively prohibit or unreasonably restrict short-term rentals. Check Carmel, Fishers, Westfield, or Noblesville code for your specific cap.
Exceeding a city occupancy or guest-room limit is a zoning violation subject to citations and, in Fishers, possible permit revocation after repeated offenses.
