Pearland caps occupancy at no more than two adult guests per bedroom, plus up to two additional adults, with a hard ceiling of 10 total persons including children. The limit is set by Ordinance 1611 and applies regardless of square footage.
For example, a two-bedroom STR may host up to four adults by bedroom, plus up to two additional adults, but the total of adults and children together cannot exceed 10. Hosts should set listing maximums conservatively to avoid violations from drop-in visitors. Exceeding occupancy is one of the most common reasons for complaints and can result in citations and permit action under Chapter 20 of the city code.
Hosting more than the allowed adult-per-bedroom count, exceeding two extra adults, or exceeding the 10-person ceiling are violations. Repeat occupancy violations can lead to fines and revocation of the city STR permit.
