Raymond has no published STR occupancy ordinance. Mississippi has not enacted a statewide STR preemption or maximum-occupancy law. Practical limits derive from the 2021 IRC (Mississippi base code, effective July 1, 2024). Confirm specific occupancy expectations with the Raymond Building Inspector at 110 Courtyard Square (601-857-8041).
Mississippi has no statewide STR occupancy cap and no STR preemption statute, leaving regulation to local government. Raymond posts no maximum-occupancy formula. Practical limits come from: (1) the 2021 IRC, Mississippi's base code effective July 1, 2024, which under Β§R304 requires habitable rooms to have at least 70 square feet of floor area, with any room sleeping more than two occupants providing 50 additional square feet per added occupant, and under Β§R310 requires every sleeping room to provide a compliant emergency escape opening; (2) Raymond's zoning rules; and (3) any nuisance or parking standard the city enforces. Mississippi imposes 7 percent state sales tax on lodging (Β§27-65-23). No statewide STR insurance mandate exists.
Operating transient lodging in a non-permitted district is enforceable by the City Building Inspector under Miss. Code Ann. Β§17-1-27 and Β§21-19-1, with fines up to $1,000 and/or 90 days. IRC overcrowding can trigger an unsafe-structure order.
