League City STR permits under Section 125-3.14.18 regulate occupancy as part of fire and life safety requirements. All STR properties must pass fire inspection. Maximum occupancy is determined by the building's sleeping capacity and fire code egress requirements.
Section 125-3.14.18 requires STR properties to pass a fire and life safety inspection as part of the permit application. The fire inspection determines appropriate occupancy based on available sleeping areas, egress routes, and fire code compliance. The 2021 IFC and IRC adopted under Chapters 46 and 22 establish occupancy calculations based on floor area and exit capacity. STR operators are responsible for ensuring guest counts do not exceed the approved occupancy. Over-occupancy creates fire safety hazards and potential noise impacts on neighbors. The STR ordinance protects neighborhood integrity, and excessive occupancy leading to noise or parking complaints may trigger permit review.
Over-occupancy: fire code violation, fine up to $500 per offense. Repeated occupancy violations may result in STR permit revocation under Section 125-3.14.18.
