Auburn STRs must provide adequate off-street parking under ACC 18.52. Guest vehicles cannot block sidewalks, driveways, or create hazards on residential streets.
Auburn City Code Chapter 18.52 establishes off-street parking requirements that apply to all residential properties including those used as short-term rentals. Single-family homes typically must provide two off-street parking spaces, and operators should ensure guests use these spaces rather than overflowing onto streets. Auburn Municipal Code Title 10 regulates on-street parking, prohibiting parking that blocks driveways, obstructs sidewalks, or occupies the same location for extended periods. Many residential streets in Auburn have no overnight street parking restrictions, but certain neighborhoods or streets may have specific rules. Operators should communicate parking expectations clearly in listing descriptions and house rules, including how many vehicles can fit, whether oversized vehicles like RVs or trailers are permitted, and which street parking is available. Excessive guest vehicles that annoy neighbors are a common source of complaints.
