Alpharetta, GA Short-Term Rentals: Short-Term Rental Parking Rules (2026)

Section 10-434(c)(7) of the Alpharetta Code of Ordinances requires every licensed short-term rental to provide parking off the street sufficient for one vehicle for each bedroom being rented. Vehicles may only sit on designated hard-surfaced areas built of gravel, concrete, or asphalt; parking on grass or in yards is expressly barred, as is parking on the city right-of-way or along any roadway at any time. The required spaces must be located on the same property as the rental itself, not on a neighboring lot or a shared easement.

The owner must document the number and location of these parking spaces in the annual license application filed with the community development department under Sec. 10-434(a)(7)f, and Sec. 10-435(a)(1)d requires a notice posted inside the rental, near the front door, that states the maximum number of vehicles allowed and includes a sketch showing where the on-site spaces are located. Advertising for the property must also disclose the maximum number of vehicles permitted, per Sec. 10-434(c)(2). Because the parking count is fixed at licensing and printed on the posted notice, a guest bringing extra cars beyond the disclosed limit, or parking in the yard or on the street, puts the rental out of compliance regardless of how many bedrooms are actually occupied that night.
