Pinellas County caps short-term rental occupancy at two persons per bedroom plus two in a common area, not exceeding ten people, under Sec. 138-3232.
Sec. 138-3232 sets the maximum overnight occupancy of a short-term rental at two persons per legal bedroom plus two additional persons in a common area, with a hard ceiling of ten people regardless of property size. Children of any age count toward the limit. Occupancy must be posted inside the rental and reflected in every listing. Florida Statute 509.032(7) authorizes counties to set reasonable occupancy caps for STRs. Sheds, RVs, tents, and shipping containers may not be used to expand sleeping capacity.
Exceeding the limit subjects operators to fines, daily violations, and accelerated Certificate of Use revocation under Sec. 138-3232. Hosting events over the cap also creates liability for resulting noise and parking violations.
