Glenn County, CA Short-Term Rentals: Parking Rules (2026)

Unincorporated Glenn County does not impose an STR-specific parking ratio (such as 'one space per bedroom'), since no short-term-rental ordinance exists. Off-street parking instead follows the general off-street parking provisions of the Title 15 Unified Development Code, which set minimum parking by use type and apply to lodging uses such as bed-and-breakfast establishments. Where a bed-and-breakfast or similar lodging use is approved through a conditional use permit, the Planning Commission or zoning administrator can attach parking conditions — for example, requiring adequate on-site, off-street guest parking so that vehicles do not spill onto rural roads or shoulders. For ordinary whole-home rentals on rural parcels, ample on-site space is usually available, so the practical issues are keeping guest vehicles off county road rights-of-way and out of sight-distance or fire-access zones rather than meeting a fixed ratio. Operators should confirm the applicable parking requirement with Planning & Community Development Services when a use is classified, and follow any Fire/CAL FIRE access-width and turnaround expectations on driveways. Roadside parking that blocks traffic or emergency access can be enforced separately by the Sheriff and Public Works.
