Paulding County sets no short-term-rental occupancy cap. There is no STR ordinance limiting guests per bedroom. Only general building and fire code occupancy standards, septic capacity, and any HOA covenants constrain how many people a rental can hold.
Because Paulding County does not regulate short-term rentals, it imposes no STR-specific overnight occupancy limit — no 'two per bedroom plus two' rule and no maximum-guest cap in the county code. The practical ceilings come from the Georgia building and fire codes that govern any dwelling's safe occupancy, the septic system's capacity in unsewered areas, and HOA covenants that may limit occupancy or guest counts in Paulding's subdivisions. Hosts remain responsible for guest conduct under the general noise and nuisance ordinances. Dallas and Hiram may adopt their own occupancy rules inside city limits.
There is no county STR occupancy citation. Overcrowding that creates a noise or nuisance problem is enforced under the general noise ordinance, and HOA covenants may fine owners separately for exceeding covenant occupancy limits.
