Oklahoma City's Short-Term Rental Ordinance (Β§59-9250 et seq., adopted 2019, amended 2022) limits occupancy in licensed STRs to 2 guests per bedroom plus 2 additional guests, with an absolute maximum of 10 occupants regardless of bedroom count. Bedrooms must meet International Residential Code minimum size (70 sq ft for single occupancy, 50 sq ft per person for shared) and have a window egress. Hosts must list maximum occupancy accurately in all advertising β Airbnb, VRBO, and other platforms. Sleeping in garages, storage sheds, RVs parked on the property, tents, or vehicles is prohibited. Cribs for infants under age 2 do not count against occupancy. Edmond Ordinance 3691 (2021) imposes similar 2-per-bedroom-plus-2 limits. Midwest City's STR rules under Β§35-220 cap at 10 occupants for properties of any size. Bethany permits STRs by conditional use only with 6-occupant cap. Occupancy rules aim to prevent party houses and preserve neighborhood character β Oklahoma County's STR complaints concentrate in central OKC (Plaza District, Paseo, Automobile Alley), Mesta Park, and Edmond's Old Town. Complaint-driven enforcement by OKC Code Enforcement (405-297-2535). Repeat occupancy violations are a primary reason for permit revocation.
First offense: OKC warning. Second offense: $250 fine. Third offense: $1,000 fine and permit suspension review. Four violations in 12 months: permit revocation under Β§59-9258. Hosting prohibited gatherings (100+ person events): $2,000 fine.
