Washington County, UT Short-Term Rentals: Occupancy Limits (2026)

" The code calls this figure the "approved bedrooms," and only those legal bedrooms may be advertised, rented, or used as sleeping quarters; sleeping accommodations in dens, lofts, garages or other non-approved rooms are barred outright. Access to the property is likewise restricted to confirmed guests, and the owner or property manager carries an affirmative duty to monitor the STR to prevent violation of the access and occupancy limits with monitors, cameras, or guest screening apps. Any data collected that way must be kept for 90 days and produced to the county within five business days of a request, in an easily accessible format, or the failure to produce it is itself a violation.

The subsection notes that other, stricter occupancy limits tied to the building code, fire code, or septic permit can still apply on top of the four-per-bedroom cap. d requires a clearly visible notice, on or near the front door and in the kitchen, stating the occupancy limit. The four-per-bedroom standard took effect 60 days after enactment of these regulations.
