Keller does not set a specific STR occupancy cap, but the International Property Maintenance Code adopted by reference sets minimum square footage per occupant. Many Keller HOAs cap occupancy at 2 per bedroom plus 2.
Keller has not adopted an STR-specific occupancy ordinance, but operators must comply with the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) adopted through the Keller Code of Ordinances, which sets minimum space standards of 150 square feet for the first occupant plus 100 square feet for each additional occupant in the total living area, and 70 square feet in a sleeping room for 1 person plus 50 square feet for each additional occupant of that room. Separately, the federal Fair Housing Act and HUD guidance generally recognize 2 persons per bedroom as a reasonable occupancy rule for residential dwellings, which most Texas cities and HOAs follow. Many Keller HOAs apply a formula of 2 guests per bedroom plus 2 additional for common areas as an enforceable CCR limit on rentals. Operators should disclose the maximum guest count in listings and enforce it at check-in. Over-occupancy often drives noise and parking complaints that result in code compliance and HOA action.
IPMC occupancy violations are enforced through code compliance with fines up to 500 dollars per day. HOA over-occupancy claims may lead to fines, injunctive relief, and attorney fees under the CCRs.
