Berks County sets no STR parking requirement. Off-street parking minimums for short-term rentals are a municipal zoning matter — Reading and townships set them — and on-street parking follows local traffic ordinances, not county rules.
Parking for short-term rentals in Pennsylvania is governed by municipal zoning under the Municipalities Planning Code (53 P.S. §10101), not by Berks County. A city or township STR ordinance may require a set number of off-street spaces (commonly one per bedroom or per guest room), and on-street parking is regulated by local traffic and permit-parking ordinances, especially in dense Reading neighborhoods. Berks County imposes no countywide off-street parking standard on dwellings. If your municipality has an STR permit, its terms usually specify the parking you must provide; otherwise the general zoning parking schedule applies.
Insufficient parking or violating on-street rules draws municipal zoning citations or parking tickets set locally; the county issues no STR parking penalty.
