Tuolumne County caps Vacation Home Rental occupancy at two persons per bedroom plus two additional, with septic capacity often setting a stricter ceiling for cabin rentals in Twain Harte.
The county VHR ordinance applies a standard occupancy formula of 2 per bedroom plus 2, with a typical maximum of 12 overnight guests per property. However, septic system capacity, well yield, and the parcel's defensible-space footprint can lower that number. Environmental Health reviews septic records during permitting and assigns the binding cap. Permits must list the maximum occupancy on every listing and on the interior placard. Daytime gathering caps may apply where neighbor impact, parking, or noise complaints are documented.
Over-occupancy leads to a citation, possible immediate guest removal by Sheriff, and accumulating strikes that can suspend the VHR permit after multiple substantiated complaints.
