Nueces County sets no STR occupancy cap. Port Aransas limits occupancy to two adults per sleeping room plus four more, unless the Building Official approves otherwise. Children under 12 are not counted. Corpus Christi sets each home's maximum on the permitted floor plan.
Occupancy is a city rule, not a county one. Port Aransas ties the cap to qualifying sleeping rooms only, excluding living rooms and rooms with fold-down or convertible beds. Its formula is two adults per sleeping room plus four, with an adult defined as age 12 or older, and the maximum is fixed when the permit is issued or renewed. Adding a room or structure later does not raise the cap without inspection and an amended registration. Corpus Christi instead sets each property's maximum guest count on the sketch floor plan submitted with the application.
Exceeding the posted occupancy limit is a City code violation and may subject occupants to citation.
