Aurora short-term rentals must provide adequate off-street parking and follow city parking rules, with no overnight RV parking on residential streets.
Aurora STR applications require a parking plan demonstrating adequate off-street parking for guests. The Aurora Unified Development Ordinance sets residential parking standards typically requiring two off-street spaces for single-family homes, with additional capacity scaled to bedroom count for STRs. Street parking is allowed in most Aurora neighborhoods but vehicles cannot be parked on unpaved surfaces in front yards, block sidewalks, or stay in one spot more than 72 hours. Oversize vehicles, RVs, and trailers cannot be stored on residential streets overnight. Neighborhoods around the Anschutz Medical Campus and Fitzsimons have permit parking zones where guests need a visitor pass. STR hosts should communicate parking rules clearly in house manuals and confirm that guest vehicles fit the driveway and legal street parking to avoid tow complaints and neighbor disputes.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Aurora code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
