Tuolumne County STR regulations under Chapter 8.70 require Fire and Life Safety Inspections that verify bedroom counts and occupancy capacity. Operators must comply with building and fire code occupancy standards for their property.
Tuolumne County's STR ordinance (Chapter 8.70, effective January 19, 2024) requires all short-term rentals in unincorporated areas to pass a Fire and Life Safety Inspection. The inspection verifies that the property meets building and fire code standards, including bedroom counts, egress requirements, and safe occupancy levels. While the county does not publish a specific guests-per-bedroom formula in the ordinance text, the Fire and Life Safety Inspection effectively caps occupancy based on the property's permitted sleeping areas and safety features. Operators must maintain visible address signage and provide a 24/7 local contact available within 60 minutes.
Exceeding safe occupancy: violation of building/fire code standards. Operating without inspection: Chapter 8.70 violation. Complaints processed by Code Compliance at 209-533-6511.
