Sunrise has no short-term-rental-specific occupancy cap. Guest capacity is governed by the property's Florida DBPR vacation-rental license and the Florida Building and Fire Codes, not a separate city ordinance.
Unlike some Florida counties, Sunrise has not adopted an ordinance setting a maximum number of guests per short-term rental. Occupancy is instead controlled at the state level: a Florida DBPR transient public lodging license classifies the rental and its lawful capacity, and the Florida Building and Fire Prevention Codes govern safe occupant loads and life-safety features. The city's general nuisance and noise codes still apply if overcrowding produces disturbances. HOAs and CDDs in Sunrise communities may impose their own occupancy or guest limits through private covenants, which bind owners independently of city code.
Sunrise imposes no STR-specific overcrowding penalty. Excessive occupancy that creates noise or nuisance is citable under the city code, and DBPR can act on life-safety or licensing violations. HOA covenants carry separate fines.
