Summary
San Angelo's STR ordinance sets no fixed maximum guest count. Section 406 instead scales required parking to rentable rooms, bars camping units on residential lots, and prohibits meal service at short-term rentals.
Camping Units are prohibited on the premises of a Short-Term Rental establishment on a residentially zoned property.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: Code of Ordinances: Supplement 10).
Full Breakdown
Section 406 does not impose a numeric per-guest occupancy cap on short-term rentals; building and fire code occupancy for the dwelling governs how many people may stay. The ordinance instead controls intensity indirectly: parking must equal two spaces plus one per separately rented guest room, camping units such as RVs, tents, and trailers are prohibited on the premises of a residentially zoned STR, and meal service may not be provided. Bed and breakfasts, a related use, are separately capped at four guest rooms on residentially zoned property. Operators must keep a current guest register as required by state code.
Violations & Fines
Exceeding building-code occupancy or allowing prohibited camping units is a zoning violation, fined up to $2,000 under Sec. 1.01.009, and can jeopardize Conditional Use renewal.
