Live Oak does not publish a specific STR occupancy formula, but the International Property Maintenance Code and city housing standards limit sleeping occupants based on bedroom square footage.
Live Oak has adopted building and property maintenance codes consistent with Texas practice. Residential sleeping occupancy is generally tied to the IPMC standard of 70 square feet for the first occupant and 50 square feet for each additional occupant per bedroom. Short-term rental hosts are expected to publish a guest cap that respects bedroom size, septic or sewer capacity, and fire egress. Exceeding reasonable occupancy can trigger noise, parking, and nuisance enforcement. Some Texas cities have adopted 2 adults per bedroom plus 2 formulas; Live Oak hosts should adopt conservative caps and document them in booking platforms.
