Logan, UT Short-Term Rentals: Occupancy Limits (2026)

Logan ties short term rental occupancy to postings and code compliance in Chapter 5.15 of the Logan Municipal Code. Section 5.15.100(B) applies room by room: each sleeping room must meet current international code requirements for egress and be equipped with smoke and CO2 detectors, and a fire exiting plan and maximum occupancy number must be posted in each sleeping room. A guest who opens the bedroom door sees the limit for that room and the way out.

The unit as a whole is covered by § 5.15.080(E), which requires the maximum occupancy of the short term rental to be posted in a conspicuous location inside the rental, along with the maximum number of vehicles allowed and the location of all parking stalls. The chapter itself prints no guests-per-bedroom formula or fixed headcount, so the number on the wall is what the owner states and the city holds the owner to it.

The application process supports that number. Under § 5.15.040(A) the owner submits a detailed floor plan drawn to scale with labels on rooms indicating uses or proposed uses, so a room labeled as a bedroom is a sleeping room for purposes of § 5.15.100(B). Section 5.15.100(A) requires each unit to meet the zoning and building code requirements in effect at the time the unit was legally permitted. Section 5.15.110(A) requires a life safety inspection by the city or another authorized agency when the initial license application is filed, and § 5.15.110(B) allows a further inspection of any unit with a recorded and valid complaint.

The purpose clause in § 5.15.020 explains the emphasis: the chapter promotes public health, safety and welfare by requiring short term rentals to be safe and fit for human occupancy. A separate limit applies to the number of licenses, not guests: § 5.15.090 caps citywide licenses at three for every one thousand residents.
