Huntington Beach STRs are subject to occupancy limits as conditions of the permit under HBMC Chapter 5.120. Maximum occupancy is determined by the number of bedrooms and must comply with building code standards.
Under HBMC Chapter 5.120, STR occupancy limits are tied to the property's bedroom count and building code capacity. The permit conditions specify maximum overnight guests. Occupancy must comply with California Building Code standards for residential units. Excessive occupancy creating noise, parking, or safety concerns may result in permit enforcement action. The local contact person must be available 24/7 to address occupancy-related complaints.
Exceeding occupancy limits may result in permit suspension or revocation. Overcrowding is also a building/fire code safety violation.
