Oxnard limits short-term rental occupancy based on bedroom count and property size. Maximum overnight occupancy is generally two persons per bedroom plus two additional guests. Daytime gathering limits also apply to prevent party houses.
Oxnard's STR regulations under OCC Chapter 16 establish occupancy caps to prevent overcrowding and neighborhood disruption. Overnight occupancy is typically limited to two persons per bedroom plus two additional guests, not exceeding the maximum posted on the STR permit. Daytime gathering limits are higher but capped to prevent large party events. STR operators must post maximum occupancy and house rules visibly inside the rental unit. The local contact person must respond to complaints about over-occupancy within 30 minutes during quiet hours. Properties advertised for events or parties face permit revocation.
Over-occupancy violations result in warnings for first offense and citations up to $1,000 for repeat violations. Chronic over-occupancy may result in STR permit revocation.
