Per College Station and Bryan ordinances, no more than four unrelated individuals can reside in most single-family homes. Those found to be in violation are subject to fines ranging from $250 to $2000 per summons or citation. Legal action can continue daily until the offending housing arrangement is corrected. To check whether a home in College Station can legally house more (or fewer) than four unrelated people, see the city's Occupancy Difference Map.
