No countywide occupancy cap applies to Sarpy County short-term rentals, but cities must treat them like similar homes. Bellevue caps STR use at five units, or 20% of a development, in multifamily buildings and PUDs.
Neb. Rev. Stat. §18-1758 requires Sarpy County cities to apply zoning and land-use rules to short-term rentals the same as comparable properties, so occupancy follows the underlying dwelling's limits rather than a special STR cap. Bellevue's land use code adds a density limit: no more than five units, and no more than 20% of the dwelling units in a development, may be used for short-term stays. Building and fire-code occupancy limits still apply, and hosts should list an accurate maximum occupancy.
Exceeding building or fire occupancy limits, or a city density cap, can bring code citations and, for chronic violations, loss of a required registration.
