Pharr has no STR-specific occupancy cap. Occupancy is set by the adopted International Property Maintenance Code minimum-floor-area formula and the dwelling's bedroom count. Texas has no statewide STR occupancy preemption.
No Pharr ordinance setting a maximum number of overnight STR guests has been identified. Occupancy is therefore controlled by the adopted IPMC residential occupancy standard (typically 70 sq ft for the first occupant in a sleeping room and 50 sq ft per additional occupant, plus a minimum 120 sq ft general living area for the first two occupants), local building code and the unit's legal bedroom count. Texas is home-rule with no statewide STR occupancy cap. HOA and deed restrictions may impose tighter limits. Operators should publish a clear maximum tied to bedrooms and confirm the locally adopted IPMC edition with Pharr Building & Code Compliance at (956) 402-2633.
Overcrowding violations of the adopted property maintenance code are enforced by Code Compliance; remedies range from notice of violation to municipal court citations.
