Marana does not set a specific maximum occupancy for short-term rentals due to ARS 9-500.39 preemption. General building code occupancy standards based on bedroom count and egress windows apply. Operators must comply with fire safety capacity limits.
Arizona state law under ARS 9-500.39 preempts municipalities from imposing occupancy limits specifically targeting short-term rentals. Marana therefore does not have a per-bedroom or total-guest cap for STR properties. Standard residential building code requirements apply, including bedroom egress window standards and fire safety capacity based on square footage. The International Residential Code as adopted by Marana governs habitable-space requirements. HOAs in Marana master-planned communities may set their own occupancy standards through CC&Rs. Operators should ensure adequate sleeping accommodations and not exceed safe building-code capacity.
Building code occupancy violations enforced through building safety division. Fire code violations through Northwest Fire District.
