Tourist homes are capped at two persons per bedroom plus two persons in one common area, with an absolute maximum of ten total occupants under the city's Land Development Code.
The Tarpon Springs occupancy formula limits tourist homes to two persons per bedroom plus two additional persons in a common area, never exceeding ten total occupants regardless of dwelling size. This local cap is enforceable because Florida Statute 509.032 allows occupancy limits that apply equally to similar uses. Listings and house rules should reflect the maximum, including children where the city counts them. Exceeding the cap is a code enforcement violation and can also impact compliance with the off-street parking ratio of one space per three occupants.
Hosting more than ten guests, or exceeding two-per-bedroom plus two common-area persons, can result in code enforcement citations and risk loss of tourist home status.
