Little Rock short-term rentals operating under Code Chapter 36 §36-265 must observe per-bedroom occupancy caps tied to the registered floor plan, plus a property-wide maximum guest count to prevent party-house operations.
Little Rock's short-term rental ordinance limits overnight occupancy to two guests per bedroom plus two additional guests, and caps total daytime guests on the premises. Operators submit bedroom counts during STR registration, and the registered figure governs occupancy disclosures on listing platforms. Exceeding the registered cap is a code violation reportable to LRPD or Planning & Development. Repeat occupancy infractions can trigger registration revocation under §36-265 and require the host to cease bookings until administrative review concludes. Hosts must disclose the cap in the listing.
Civil penalties begin around $250 per violation under Chapter 36, escalating with repeated infractions and potentially leading to registration revocation by Planning & Development.
