Albuquerque STR Ordinance ROA 1994 Chapter 13-20 requires one off-street parking space per bedroom rented, and prohibits guest parking on unpaved front yards or across sidewalks.
Under Albuquerque's Short-Term Rental Ordinance, hosts must provide at least one off-street parking space per rented bedroom, up to the parking count required for the dwelling type under the Integrated Development Ordinance (IDO). Guests may not park on unpaved portions of the front yard, a common issue in older South Valley and Southeast Heights properties. Street parking is permitted where not otherwise restricted, but rentals in permit-parking zones near UNM and Nob Hill must obtain visitor placards or the guests risk tickets from Parking Services. Blocking sidewalks, fire hydrants, or alley access can trigger immediate towing. Hosts must disclose available parking in the listing and on the interior placard.
Parking-related STR violations start at $100 civil fines and count as strikes under the three-violation permit revocation framework. Vehicles blocking fire lanes or hydrants face towing at owner expense.
