Sacramento County Code §4.08 caps Vineyard STR overnight occupancy at two adults per bedroom plus two additional, with hard maximums tied to septic capacity, parking availability and CalFire emergency-egress requirements.
Under SCC §4.08, the maximum overnight occupancy of an STR is calculated as (2 x number of bedrooms) + 2. So a 3-bedroom STR maxes at 8 overnight guests. Daytime guest counts may not exceed double the overnight occupancy. STRs on septic systems must have an engineer's letter confirming septic capacity meets the requested occupancy. Hosting events, weddings, or commercial gatherings is prohibited at all STRs in unincorporated Sacramento County.
Exceeding posted occupancy is a §4.08 violation with administrative penalties starting at $1,500 first violation, $3,000 second, and $5,000 third. Repeat violations are grounds for STR permit revocation and TOT-license cancellation.
