STR septic capacity is less than sleeping capacity - advice pls!

[Michael Elefante]

Anybody have issues with septic capacity that is zoned for less BR or total persons than what you rent it out for? Any overflowing issues? We are under contract for a STR 3 BR that has sleeping capacity of 12+ people but the property is approved for a 1BR based on septic from health department. No idea how this house was approved to build a 3BR based on this lot.. it is a 1,000 gal tank. We are concerned of potential issues and based on a quick call into the HD they are not confident we would be approved to add a larger or secondary tank... do you think we would be okay sleeping 10-12 guests? Any advice is appreciated!!
