Parking Rules: Hernando vs Olive Branch

Hernando's Zoning Ordinance Article XV does not publish a separate STR parking ratio; instead it applies the off-street parking standard for the underlying residential dwelling to the STR use. Each space must be at least 9 ft x 20 ft and provided on the lot, not on adjacent streets. For the exact space count required at your specific zoning district and parcel, confirm with the Hernando Office of Planning at (662) 429-9095 before applying for the business license.
