Indian River County caps vacation-rental occupancy at two persons per bedroom plus two more, with a hard maximum of ten per unit - whether on public sewer or a septic system - under Code Sec. 911.15.
Florida bars local caps on rental duration and frequency, but Indian River County may limit occupancy as a health and safety standard. Sec. 911.15 sets overnight sleeping occupancy at two persons per bedroom plus two additional persons, with a firm maximum of ten persons per vacation rental unit, applied the same whether the home is served by public sewer or an on-site septic system. The maximum must be disclosed to guests. Exceeding it is a code violation. HOA and CDD documents may set lower limits in gated communities.
Exceeding the ten-person cap is a code violation handled by Code Enforcement, with correction orders and escalating fines. Repeated overcrowding at a rental exposes the owner to direct enforcement.
