Parking Rules: Camarillo vs Santa Paula

Are there guest parking rules for Camarillo rentals?

Camarillo does not have STR-specific parking rules. General parking regulations under CMC Title 11 apply. Most importantly, check your HOA's CC&Rs as nearly all Camarillo planned communities have strict guest parking provisions limiting visitors to designated spots.

How long can a car park on the street in Camarillo?

Under CMC Title 11, vehicles generally cannot remain parked on public streets for more than 72 consecutive hours. Some areas have additional time restrictions or permit parking requirements.

Can guests park in the driveway or on the lawn?

Driveway parking is generally fine if the vehicle fits without blocking the sidewalk. Parking on lawns or unpaved surfaces in residential zones typically violates zoning standards under CMC Title 19 and most HOA CC&Rs prohibit it.

What are the STR parking rules in Santa Paula?

There are none. The City does not currently allow short-term rentals, so STR-specific parking standards have never been adopted. Standard residential parking in SPMC Chapter 16.46 applies.

Can I rent my ADU on Airbnb in Santa Paula?

No. State ADU law (Gov. Code 65852.2) requires ADUs to be rented for 31 days or more, and Santa Paula does not permit short-term rentals.

Will Santa Paula adopt an STR ordinance soon?

Per the city's official FAQ, there are no plans to adopt an STR ordinance because staff determined there is insufficient demand to justify the program cost.
