Under Arizona law, Mohave County and its cities may cap short-term rental occupancy for health and safety. Limits are typically tied to bedrooms; the host is responsible for guest compliance.
Arizona's STR preemption still lets counties and cities set occupancy limits to protect health and safety. Under A.R.S. §11-269.17, Mohave County may adopt health-and-safety rules, and cities licensing STRs set occupancy through their permits. A common benchmark is two guests per bedroom plus two, though the permitted number is fixed per property. Listings should state maximum occupancy accurately, and sleeping in vehicles, tents, or RVs on the lot is generally not counted or allowed. The host, not the guest, is accountable for exceedances, which can jeopardize a city permit.
Overcrowding draws a warning, then fines, and repeated violations can lead to suspension or revocation of a city STR permit. The host is responsible for guest compliance.
