Temple Terrace applies reasonable occupancy standards consistent with FL §509.032(7)(b), typically 2 persons per bedroom plus 2 additional overnight guests, and enforces building code life-safety limits.
Florida law allows cities to enforce occupancy limits that are uniformly applied and not more restrictive than those applied to other residential uses. For STRs, Temple Terrace follows the standard 2-per-bedroom plus 2 formula (e.g., a 3-bedroom home: up to 8 overnight guests). Life safety egress, smoke alarms, and CO detector requirements under the FL Building Code must be met. Operators should post maximum occupancy inside the unit.
Exceeding posted occupancy: code enforcement citation up to 250 dollars. Life-safety violations can trigger DBPR enforcement and suspension of the vacation rental license.
